About this listen

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.

Although an uncomfortable listen at times due to the language written I enjoyed the book and loved the characters and storyline.

Another excellent book

The story is a good one, at least for fans of Prime Suspect, but what’s truly impressive is the performance of this reader. Like a one-man orchestra, she gives you the experience of listening to a full-cast radio show.

Amazing reader

This was an excellent 2nd book in the series. The edges have been knocked off Jane Tennison and she has the respect of her team. Still having to fight for her position in a male dominated world she picks apart the case until the truth outs. Well worth a listen.

Excellent follow up

It begins to feel rather old the predugise against women that is Jane. In 2021 the old school might still exist

It's +8/10 for me

Absolutely loved the 2nd book in the series it is fast paced with many twists and turns, a few murders to solve in a drag queen environment, narration adds such a lot to the storyline

Compelling murder mystery full of twists and turns

Great

This was another classic with brilliant narration. the audible book kept getting stuck on Chapter 13, which was annoying... but that's probably easily sorted.

wonderful performance of gripping story

Excellent narration reminding me of Helen Mirren throughout so I was able to see her throughout the listen. No earth shattering but as always a good story to lose yourself into.

A reliably good story, again by L L Plante

Read the awful reviews about the language used in this book and ,the thing is, people talked like this years ago,and thought nothing of it !!!
I know, hard to believe today.
If we don’t let people hear the words they used, they won’t know what what actual racial discrimination means
I applaud Lynda La Plante for saying how it was and I shall buy another book

Can’t re-write history
