Format: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

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.

No, just messin, but seriously, La Plante comes up with a fascinating plotline. A serial killer is afoot and he might just be a very well known and well liked actor. It's up to young Detective Anna Travis to get to the truth. But, is she getting too close to the suspect?
I can't really picture Hugh Grant, for example, as a serial killer, but La Plante paints a convincing picture. It took me only a morning to read this book, so hooked on it was I. Enjoy!
(If I had to put money on an actor that could turn into a serial killer, it'd probably be Brad Pitt- way too convincing in Kalifornia!)
