If Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison hadn't been a woman, she might not have noticed the victim's shoes…and that they didn't match the size given on the info sheet now so obviously misidentifying the dead blonde as a hooker named Della Mornay. Being so thorough, so good at the details, made Jane a top investigator; being a woman made the boys in the squadron want to see her fall on her face.

When a body is found in one of London's poorest districts, the coroner's report identifies the victim as young, black and female, but impossibly anonymous. One thing is clear to Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison about this victim - that news of her murder will tear apart a city already cracking with racial tensions, hurling Scotland Yard and Tennison herself into a maelstrom of shocking accusations and sudden, wrenching violence.

Jane Tennison has worked hard to become the first female detective ever posted to the infamous Flying Squad, or 'the Sweeney'.

Dealing with some of London's most ruthless armed criminals, who think the only good cop is a dead cop, is no joke. Determined to prove she's as good as the men, Jane discovers from a reliable witness that a gang is going to carry out a massive robbery.

Things can't get much worse for Detective Jane Tennison. Unceremoniously kicked off the adrenaline-fuelled Flying Squad, she now plies her trade in Gerald Road, a small and sleepy police station in the heart of London's affluent Knightsbridge. With only petty crime to sink her teeth into, Tennison can feel her career slowly flatlining. That is until the discovery of the most brutal murder Jane has ever seen: Charlie Foxley has been found viciously beaten to death with a cricket bat - his body dismembered and disembowelled.

But while giving a private tour of the library, a gunman kills Volkov, wounding his ex-wife and slaying her new beau. Nothing makes sense to DCI Craig Gillard. In the blood-spattered crime scene there are no forensic traces of anyone else involved, CCTV shows no one entered or left the library, and everyone seems to have an alibi.

Publisher's Summary
Everybody has a story to tell....
Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison has moved up the ranks, fighting every step of the way to break through Scotland Yard's glass ceiling. Now, on her first day as the head of the Vice Squad, a high-profile case threatens to destroy everything she has worked for.
When Tennison's latest investigation reveals an influential public figure as her prime suspect - a man with connections to politicians, judges, and Scotland Yard - she's given a very clear message about the direction her investigation should take.
In a case defined by murky details, one fact becomes indisputably clear, that for Tennison, going after the truth will mean risking her happiness and maybe her career.
Based on the award-winning TV series starring Helen Mirren, the complete and unabridged Prime Suspect trilogy is now available for the first time in audio.

Very very good
This is really very good sequel to the first Prime Suspect story. I haven't given it full stars because something about it just isn't to my taste.
Tennison is an excellent character yet again and the story certainly takes some interesting twists and turns.

Very disappointed in this poor narration I thought
Prime suspect usually gets such great reviews and has a huge fan base and this is usually my genre. The tv series was too
graphic for me however so I decided the audiobook would be just the thing. However, the reading of this is dreadful, I grimaced and could not continue past the first chapter. Returned.

An uncomfortable read.
I have loved all the Jane Tennison books so far so I was looking forward to this one. It was written and set in the 90s when the language around the issue of race and ethnicity was different from what's acceptable today. Despite knowing this I still found some of the overt ravidt language and attitudes very difficult to listen too and so the story had a very old fashioned and outdated feel to it.
I felt myself rolling my eyes at times for example when one victim was described as half white and half West Indian which they claimed explained why they were wearing Nigerian bracelets seeming to confuse the Carribbean and Africa.
The narrator sounds very much like Helen Mirren but her regional accents are less convincing and I found her Carribbean accents uncomfortable to listen too.
Overall I was disappointed.
