Summary

Is it the end of the line for DCI Jane Tennison?

When a body is found in one of London's poorest districts, the coroner's report identifies the victim as young, black and female, but impossibly anonymous.

One thing is clear to Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison about this victim - that news of her murder will tear apart a city already cracking with racial tensions, hurling Scotland Yard and Tennison herself into a maelstrom of shocking accusations and sudden, wrenching violence.

As London's brutal killer remains at large, Tennison is locked in a struggle to overcome her station house's brutal chauvinism and insidious politicking. And as the department's deeply rooted racism rears its head and threatens to overshadow every facet of her new investigation, the trail of her prime suspect is growing colder.

Based on the award-winning TV series starring Helen Mirren, the complete and unabridged Prime Suspect trilogy is now available for the first time in audio.

Crime at its best

I loved watching the series on the tv, but I feel that the books are a better listen because Lynda explains and describes the characters, I prefer listening to her books that watching on TV. I hope that the whole TV series is put onto Audiobooks.

I love Jane Tennison.

Gripping listen

We get to see so many nuances in the character of Tennison in this book. The possibilities of the life she could have had, what could still have, and the choices that she makes.

The final scenes with her interviewing the perpetrator are riveting, even more so for the fact that she doesn't have full victory before her.

A great way to finish the series.

Ruthless compunction, a chilling determination.

Book three in the Prime Suspect series featuring Jane Tennison, now about to head up Vice and, once again, is resented because she is female. She is late on her first day, feeling unwell, and walks in on the news of the dead body of a local rent boy found in a burned apartment.. Numerous colourful characters, both in and out of the police force, conspiracy and threats from both, sides with an unpleasantly sordid base line.

Once again, narration is by Rachel Atkins, with clear English pronunciation and good intonation though just a tad slow in delivery: best to speed up playback to 1.2 or 1.3. She is good but for this reader the voice does not fit, being to down beat in tone and, although the main protagonist is female, almost all of the many other players are male requiring too much ingenuity on the part of Ms.Atkins to successfully give voice to them all.

A solid police procedural which would work well as a stand alone, downloaded from the Audible + programme. Thank you, Audible.
