Murder Mile
Murder Mile | Lynda La Plante
8 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
Prime Suspect meets Ashes to Ashes as we see Jane Tennison starting out on her police career . . . The fourth in the Sunday Times bestselling Jane Tennison thrillers, MURDER MILE is set at the height of the 'Winter of Discontent'. Can Jane Tennison uncover a serial killer? February, 1979, 'The Winter of Discontent'. 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. 'La Plante excels in her ability to pick out the surprising but plausible details that give her portrayal of everyday life in a police station a rare ring of authenticity' Sunday Telegraph 'Classic Lynda, a fabulous read' Martina Cole on HIDDEN KILLERS

Tonight, I‘m sharing my listening progress on the audiobook that I started listening to. This is the 3rd book I‘ve listened to this month where the main character‘s name is Jane. In the first 2 books from the Jane Hawk series, there‘s an FBI agent named Jane. In this book that I‘m reading, there‘s a detective named Jane. The only difference between these two is that Jane Hawk is on the run and Jane Tennison is trying to find a serial killer.

Here‘s my reading progress for a book I‘m currently listening to. I‘m reviewing this book for Bookish First. It‘s good so far. I decided to listen to this book without reading the first 3 books in the series. This is the 4th book in this series and I don‘t feel like I‘m missing out on anything important.

Set in 1979 in London, Lynda la Plant tells a tale of multiple murders with some really gruesome moments. It‘s full of great detail from the bin men strikes and the Winter of discontent which adds a feeling of reality to it all. I love the way she describes the characters clothing too, which really helps draw a picture of everyone and builds the atmosphere of the time and their personal circumstances.....a great twist too
