About this listen

 Can Jane Tennison uncover a serial killer?

The fourth in the Sunday Times bestselling Jane Tennison thrillers, MURDER MILE is set in 1979 at the height of the 'Winter of Discontent' when economic chaos has led to widespread strikes across Britain.

Jane Tennison, now a Detective Sergeant, has been posted to Peckham CID, one of London's toughest areas. As the rubbish on the streets begins to pile up, so does the murder count: two bodies in as many days.

There are no suspects and the manner of death is different in each case. The only link between the two victims is the location of the bodies, found within a short distance of each other near Rye Lane in Peckham. Three days later another murder occurs in the same area. Press headlines scream that a serial killer is loose on 'Murder Mile' and that police incompetence is hampering the investigation.

Jane is under immense pressure to catch the killer before they strike again. Working long hours with little sleep, what she uncovers leaves her doubting her own mind.

Set in the 1970’s and reflecting very much the attitudes of the times, this is an involved and detailed story. Very lengthy dialogue but easy to picture the scenes and characters.

Another great story from Lynda La Plante

This was an excellent storyline. Plenty of intrigue and suspense threading through the story. worked out the possible perpetrator about 3/4 of the way through. Had a twist in the tail at the end. Enjoy Lynda's books.

Great story which demonstrates the times in police work and discrimination against women. Really enjoyed the book. Shames the narrators accents were so poor.

Excellent

I enjoyed this book although it was very predictable. The lead character Jane was lovely but the continued misogynist and homophobic police was a part I found difficult. It was set in the 1970’s so fitted.

Nice detective story

Usual good level of suspense. A few anachronisms in the dialogue. The reader left something to be desired. Accents vary enough that I wasn’t always sure which character was speaking.

Young Tennison

Four murders and a suicide make this a gripping story. Well narrated .Another book to add to my favourites

Early days of Jane Tennison.

Beautifully narrated. Good to see the early development of Jane as a detective. Good plot.

Gruesome details could be off putting

Great thriller. Well written. Well performed. The only thing I didn’t like was the Jamaican accent of one of the characters. The book kept me enthralled to the end even if it was a bit predictable. This is my first Lynda La Plante book but I think I might look to ‘read’ the Jane Tennyson books chronologically.
