About this listen

Helena Lanark is the only one who knows about the horrors which once occurred in her family's house. The heiress of an immense family fortune, she now resides in a luxurious care home; her mind and memory fading fast.

Jane Tennison is leading a murder investigation into the recent brutal death of a young girl, her decomposed, starved body discovered in an old air raid shelter in the garden of the Lanark's now derelict house. Initially the focus is on identifying the victim, until another body is found hidden in the walls of the shelter.

As the investigation and search for answers intensifies, Jane travels to Australia. There she discovers the dark secret that the Lanark family has kept hidden for decades. A secret that not only threatens to bring down a family dynasty, but also places Jane Tennison in mortal danger . . .

Another historical murder. Limited characters = fewer suspects = not very interesting story.
Jane seems to be regressing as she climbs the career ladder: stroppy and selfish. Still not a team player as a DCI?!
Feels like the author fallen out of love with Tennison.

Disappointing

Good narration. I have read all the Tennison/Prime Suspect books and this book isn’t the same standard. Sorry.

I found the last quarter annoying as it just went on a bit too long

Good but went on a bit at the end

Loving this series. Good to hear the backstory of the Tennyson series. Excellent narration as always. Highly recommend

Don't like leaving poor reviews, but... I've stuck with the series hoping it would grow into itself and become more self assured, but I'm throwing in the towel. One more time of hearing the (monotonously frequently appearing) word 'investigation' prissily enunciated as if in a Jane Austen novel would tip me over the edge.
Dated performance, pretty lazy and uninspiring writing, not much of a story... Enough's enough for me :(

That the last La Plante for me...
