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.
