Jane Tennison, Book 8

De: Lynda La Plante

Narrado por: Rachel Atkins

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 great one!

Can't get enough of Lynda la Plante's mystery/thriller/police procedural writing style and story ideas. Really enjoyed this book, Dark Rooms. Also excellent narrator!

Decorating tips

Disappointing to say the least. If you are hoping for an exciting Tennyson mystery this is not the book for you. If. however, you are looking for decorating tips then dive right in. The premise could have been plausible but between the endless decorating and the cartoonish animosity between Tennyson and some of the police personnel, the story becomes dreary and silly. I love Lynda la Plante's books but this one seems to have been written while the author was simply fulfilling some contractual agreement. Don't waste your credit.
