Summary

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.

Narrated by Anna-Louise Plowman (Holby City, Black Sails and Stargate SG1).

Really enjoyable

I really enjoyed this audiobook. First time I've listened to anything by this author but it wont be the last.
Good storyline, not too complicated that you get lost but enough to keep you guessing. Good pace too.
Narrator was excellent.

Decent read!

Decent audible story that didn't need major concentration but some of the accents were just dreadful. If you can't do an accent then don't!

Most enjoyable

I enjoyed the the story and kept going until the end which is unusual for me. There is a lot of twists and turns but on the whole a good story considering it was free. I will list to more stories in the series even if I have to pay for them.

Another treat!

Working my way through all of the Jane Tennison books in order and loving how she's developing as a character. Good solid police procedural, well written, good storyline and narration. Looking forward to the next one!

This book was good add it might have been based in times when their was not much gender equality and I would like to see you do a good accent

Superb

I forgot just how good Lynda Is Plants is. Evan though forensics and communication has come along way since the book was set, the story telling and characters and plot are so good that those details don't matter, in fact they add to the frustration of not solving the crimes more quickly.
I don't know if LLP wrote with Helen Mirren in mind but, Helen Mirren IS Jane Tennison following her portrayal for tv of the detective. The narrator of this book picked the traits displayed by Mirren beautifully and I felt as though I was watching rather than listening!
Still makes me fume that Tennison was disrespected by her colleagues so frequently purely on her gender! I sincerely hope things are very different now.
