“Murder Mile” is the fourth in Lynda La Plante’s ‘Jane Tennison’ series, as we continue to see her in the early stages of her career before the popular ‘Prime Suspect’ series of late.
Set in London 1979 during the ‘winter of discontent’, which I myself remember well, sets the scene for a city littered with uncollected refuse waste and as a consequence, an increase in rat population. Jane has now been promoted to Detective Sergeant and not before time but she’s still fighting male chauvinism within the police force, although as her career has progressed, she is being more respected among those she directly works with.
Being grittier, darker and more graphic, the murders were right up my street and I was very invested in the storyline and to how Jane and her colleagues were to apprehend the culprit. Progressing nicely as a DS, Jane continues to use her intuition and gut feelings, often getting her into official trouble but she has a dogged determination and will stop at nothing to bring justice for the victims.
Lynda’s books just go from strength to strength, if that’s even possible. “Murder Mile” is my favourite in the series so far, although I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the books, they are ridiculously addictive and written in such a way you can’t help but endear to the characters instantly. If you’re a regular Tennison fan you’re gonna love this book and if you’re not, what are you waiting for? Get started! You won’t be disappointed.
