About this listen

She's lost everything, except her life....

Lieutenant Lorraine Page once had everything - a devoted husband, two beautiful daughters and an impressive career with the Homicide Squad. It's impossible to believe that she could be thrown out of the police force and end up on Skid Row.

Without Lorraine, her colleagues struggle on, as the hunt for a nightmare serial killer spirals into an all-out search for a missing witness: a victim who escaped.

But Lorraine Page is about to be brought right back into that world again. Against her will she is drawn into the investigation and forced to face her past and her overwhelming guilt....

Based on a true story, the complete and unabridged Lorraine Page trilogy available for the first time in audio.

But the narrator’s over the top, cartoonish delivery of a New York cop really grated. Shame because I enjoyed it in every other way

Great story, but..

Very disappointed with Lynda la Plante. This story was twice the length it should be. It went on and on and on. I enjoyed the first quarter and just struggled to the end. If this had been the first book I had heard by this author I would never listen to her again. However I know she has some great novels and will stay with her. BUT never a Lorraine Page EVER.

It went on and on and on and became a bore

I absolutely adore every book I have read by Lynda la plante but I really do think it's time she did some extensive market research before deciding on a narrator. This reader is fine for most of the female characters but the male characters are absolutely dreadful. Ear piercing. I was seriously considering returning the purchase as I didn't believe I could see the book through, but I pushed on to the end. The story was fine but it would have been far more enjoyable by another narrator.

Good story - dreadful narration

The start of the book is slow. For the first time ever - an abridged version would be better. At 16 hours this is about 8 hours too long
Most of the story is unbelievable
The police interrogation scenes were laughable - did you do - no, come on did you do it - oh OK.
The protagonist would never be given the amount of freedom and access she was given.
The narration was the worst I have heard for a long time.
But Lynda la Plante at her worst is better than most. I finished it and thought it was OK. Unlikely to read any more in the series.

It was OK - just

Great story but spoilt, for me, by Rosie’s accent - like nails on a chalkboard. Might be as I’m British but does anyone in the US really talk like that?

Great story but…
