Product Description
Product Description
Instead of Jane Tennison immortalised by Helen Mirren in PRIME SUSPECT, think Anna Travis in ABOVE SUSPICION, Lynda's wonderful new creation of a female detective for today. A rookie detective, Anna is about to embark on her first murder case - and it couldn't be a more serious, more gruesome series of murders. The killings began eight years before; now the body count is up to six. The method of killing is identical, the backgrounds of the girls very similar - all of them prostitutes. As the book opens, a seventh body is found, same modus operandi but the victim this time is a young student, sweet, innocent, with 'the face of an angel'. Anna stumbles on a vital piece of information which links one man to the killings. But that man is a household name, a well-known and much-loved actor, with charm, good looks and the gift of the gab. Denial springs easily and confidently to his lips; his protestation of innocence is convincing. What if he is arrested, in the face of huge publicity, and he is the wrong man? This is Lynda La Plante at her best, creating a compelling, charismatic new detective in Anna Travis, and bringing to vivid life on the page a completely gripping crime thriller,

Wow! I could not put this down,

This review is from: Above Suspicion (Paperback)
The last few LLP books I have read haven't been great so I started this one with trepidation - after page 1 I was hooked! I stayed up half the night reading and blamed the fact that I had bags under my eyes on my 11 week old son. Suffice to say after doing the motherly duties, I kept on reading and had the book finished within 24 hours <i know, i know, terrible mother!>. It reminded me of Prime Suspect, LLP at her best but I felt this was better. I sincerely hope she caries on with this character as she is just great. I am already looking forward to her next book

This review is from: Above Suspicion (Paperback)
Having read Red Dahlia and Bella Mafia I am on a Lynda La Plante purge. I have just finished Above Suspicion and all I can say is WOW what a thoroughly enjoyable read. I wished I had read this before Red Dahlia though as Above Suspicion is the first with the characters Langton and Travis.
I was actually really feeling for poor Travis, her first murder case and arriving at the station, nobody took her on. Langton with his bellowing and bawling at her along with his put me downs making her flush with embarassment. It also made me laugh out loud the bit when they were on the plane and he was being his usual horrible self to her and she then came to the decision she hated him. Two minutes later he was nice to her and she retracted that decision and decided no, she really liked him. So so lifelike to reality (I know I have done that) A very enjoyable story, made my heart race a couple of times and I look forward to the next episode of Langton and Travis.
