Summary

From the BAFTA award-winning creator of Prime Suspect, starring Helen Mirren, comes the blistering follow-up to the best-selling Tennison.

Jane Tennison, a young, inexperienced WPC, learns the hard way never to take anyone - or anything - at face value, whether in her dealings with her police colleagues or when confronted by seemingly innocent suspects.

Hidden Killers sees Jane acting as a decoy prostitute, with the hope of capturing a suspect wanted for numerous sexual assaults. The attacker is drawn in and put under arrest. Commended for bravery in the case, Jane is given CID status and moves from Hackney to Bow Street Station as detective. Her first call-out is to a nonsuspicious death. The victim is a young mother drowned tragically in her bath, leaving a bereft and doting husband and a young child.

The two storylines interweave as Jane begins to doubt the evidence against her assailant in East London and becomes certain that the young woman in the bath did not drown in tragic circumstances. Two entirely different cases but one common thread - the lingering doubt in Jane's mind around the evidence...and around her colleagues.

Very enjoyable

While listening I thought it wasn't quite as good as the first book, but by the time I finished it I had changed my mind. I really enjoyed it.

Fantastic.

I loved this book and binged listened to it over three days while doing DIY tasks, painting and peeling off wallpaper. The story and the reader were both fantastic. A very, very enjoyable listen. Thank you for making DIY such fun.

Good but terrible accents off-putting

Enjoy seeing Tennisons career evolve but narrators accents are almost laughable at times which really detracts from the story.

Entertaining

Grey story - quite dated but relevant to that time period. Would definitely recommend to LLP fans.

Can’t wait for the next book this was excellent sequel to TENNISON.

If you like the tennison series both prime suspect and tennison you will love this. What a fantastic continuation of the tennison story! Gripping! After seeing both of the above I mentioned as on Tv I can really see Jane as one of my all time favourite book characters! This a nice balance of character storylines and crime storylines! Perfect 👌

Was it wort the cost

Was it. Worth the cost? It's a very big yes from me I had decided not to pick another crime novel but in a moment of madness I started now I am hooked loved the book okay one or two factual mistakes but it's not supposed to be a history book. Now I am off to down load the next book in the series.

Jane is learning fast!

The year is 1974 and after the tragic events at Hackney in book one, Jane Tennison has now completed her probation and is a WPC, although her dream is still to become a detective. One of her first jobs is acting as a decoy for DI Moran to lure out a suspected sexual predator and after a successful arrest where Jane herself is attacked, she gets the chance to move to CID at Bow Street where she runs into former colleague DS Spencer Gibbs who needed to get away from Hackney and all its memories. An accidental death proves suspicious when Jane challenges the evidence and the earlier case of the rapist runs alongside in an investigation that produces some shocking twists. Jane soon begins to suspect everyone and everything but still finds she has much to learn in this second superb book in a brilliant series.
Jane is still young and very naïve at times, and the seedy area’s sex shops and prostitutes are an eye-opener to her after her comfortable upbringing. Still she is becoming better at challenging her superiors when she gets that gut feeling she cannot ignore and the reader can start to see the highly intuitive officer she will become later in her career. The settings and characters are very well depicted, as are the struggles facing any female officer in those days and even though this is quite a lengthy book, the pages fly past in an engrossing and highly charged story. I’m looking forward to more Tennison in book three, Good Friday, where this much-loved character gets caught up in a terrifying bombing campaign.
A pleasant narration but some of the accents involved were not always great.
