SOMEONE WANTS YOU OUT OF THE PICTURE . . .
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 . . .
Murder hides behind closed doors in Lynda La Plante’s brilliant new Jane Tennison thriller.
Review
Jane Tennison is newly promoted to the position of DI in Dark Rooms. It’s fascinating seeing her rise in the ranks, see her grow and see her overcome challenges.
There’s a body found in a disused air raid shelter that of course warrants investigation. One problem… Tennison’s boss isn’t interested. Her dogged determination kicks in as she tries to convince her superior otherwise, even if it means her going to the other side of the world to crack the case.
It’s a very involving, fast-paced book that then makes me really look forward to the next one too.
