Outstanding Procedural Mystery

Murder Mile by Linda LaPlante

🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is the fourth book in author, Linda LaPlante’s, Jane Tennison series.  Set in the late 1970’s, Jane Tennison is a newly promoted detective working in an atmosphere where men rule.  In the midst of a labor dispute, England’s trash piles up on the streets along with the bodies.  When a dead woman is discovered amongst the rubbish, Detective Tennison is put on the investigation where the pressure is rising and so is the body count.  I haven’t read the rest of this series but it didn’t really matter.  I was pulled into this procedural mystery from the very beginning.  I enjoyed the mystery but also the office politics, the pre-smart phone seventies setting and the constant frustration that Jane feels in not being taken seriously.  You can tell that the author knows her stuff and I enjoyed this book immensely.  I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
