Each month I pick a few select charities broken down by our most popular countries that you can support instead. Her former co-workers ignore her, her boss doesn’t bat an eyelash…until a serial killer strikes back and the force is stuck trying to find a missing witness. I have on my audio books 174 titles, and I wish I could say they were all hers, but sadly not all available. After this turning point in her life, Lynda signed her first book-deal with Pan MacMillan, who helped her publish her very first novel, The Legacy, in 1987.
La Plante’s popularity soared with the success of Lynda’s books in the Cold, aka Lorraine Page books which revolve around the life of private detective Lorraine, who undergoes a dramatic downfall from a life of luxury to being abandoned on the streets. In what is sure to be an unmissable event, the indisputable Queen of Drama, will be sharing her extraordinary life and writing career. More than anything else, La Plante’s writing career was generated by famous books Cold Blood,Cold Shoulder and Cold Hard. Lynda La Plante, a highly acclaimed figure in the field, boasts an impressive array of achievements throughout her career. Her investigations reveal that after the tragic death of a young girl, her boyfriend appears to have vanished without a trace.
This move seems like a daring move for a woman who – just 2 books ago – was living with her parents and who is still struggling with their tendency to be overprotective (side note: as a parent myself, I can totally understand why they don’t want Jane to be a police officer in a seedy city where murders and IRA bombs are regular occurrences! When a prostitute is found murdered in her bedsit, the Metropolitan police set to work finding the perpetrator of this brutal attack. The next book in the series is going to be a bittersweet one as although I am looking forward to reading it, it will mark the end of Tennison, a series I have thoroughly enjoyed. The first book, published in 2004, finds Anna Travis a rookie female detective working her very first, rather gruesome, case.
Reader’s Digest is a member of the Independent Press Standards Organisation (which regulates the UK’s magazine and newspaper industry). As Tennison hunts for the link between the crimes, she uncovers a truth more shocking than she could have contemplated. She trained for the stage at RADA and worked with the National Theatre and RDC before becoming a television actress.If you haven’t started with ‘Tennison’, I’d really suggest you start there so you can enjoy Jane Tennison’s development as a character – it’s a journey you won’t want to miss.
Lynda La Plante’s latest book is Taste of Blood, a new gripping mystery and the 9th in the Jane Tennison series, published in early 2024, with which the author continues the popular crime series. We abide by the Editors’ Code of Practice and are committed to upholding the highest standards of journalism.As a retired police officer myself, I can say that she explores and provides in-depth knowledge of police and forensic procedure to a really high level, and that alone is very impressive considering she was never actually a serving police office herself. After attending the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) training for stage, she appeared with the Royal Shakespeare Company in several productions and well-known television series under the stage name Lynda Marchal. The story is so well written, the characters became very familiar and once I began reading, it was very difficult to stop, the tension building as the case was building.
The 30th Anniversary Edition: revised and updated for old and new fans of Lynda La Plante** One family. With the team against her, and a dangerous criminal still on the loose, DCI Jane Tennison must fight to prove herself, now or never.If working at an office location and you are not "logged in", simply close and relaunch your preferred browser. Her unwavering dedication and passion for her craft suggest that she will continue to captivate audiences on television for years to come, proving that age is no obstacle for this driven and accomplished woman. The show ran for seven seasons and is widely considered one of the greatest British television dramas of all time.
