Wrongful Death

Written by Lynda La Plante

Narrated by Kim Hicks

London’s Detective Chief Inspector Anna Travis must decide
where her loyalties lie, duty to the job or personal ambition, in this
masterful tale of suspense from the award-winning, international bestselling
author of the Prime Suspect series-one of today’s finest crime writers,
alongside such talents as Sophie Hannah, Ruth Rendell, Kate Atkinson, and Ian
Rankin.

Six months ago, London nightclub owner Josh Reynolds was
found dead. Ruled a suicide, the police investigation was closed. Then a young
man, awaiting trial for armed robbery, tells his guards that Reynolds was
murdered and that he has information to share.

DCI Anna Travis is scheduled to leave for training at
Quantico, as part of an exchange between the Met and the FBI. But before she
can leave, she’s got to review the case, thanks to her boss, DCS James Langton.
Joining her team is senior FBI agent and crime scene expert Jessie Dewar.

The American’s brash manner quickly ruffles feathers
throughout the Met, and what should have been a simple matter of tying up loose
ends becomes a political powder keg when the competence of the original
investigation team is challenged. Suddenly, Anna is faced with a dangerous
choice. Will she close ranks to protect her people or push to find the truth, no matter what the consequences?

Little bit slow for me. I never really grabbed the whole reason for the initial investigations! Should have been the perfect kill.

Six month ago Josh Reynolds was found dead. His death was ruled a suicide and the case was closed. A young man, awaiting trial for armed robbery, tells his guards that Reynolds was murdered and that he has information to share. DCI Anna Travis is scheduled to leave for training at Quantico, as part of an exchange between the Met and the FBI. But first she got to review the case. It should have been a simple matter of tying up loose ends but it turns out to be a political powder keg.This 500 page book hooked me from the first page. The only problems I had with it was the Fitzpatrick storyline, which was a continuation from the previous Anna Travis book. Having not read the previous book I was a little lost where that storyline was concerned. I also thought that 500 pages was a bit too long for this book. At the end I found myself skipping paragraphs when the author kept going over the same clues a number of times. The two problems I had did not stop me from finishing and enjoying this book.I won this book from Goodreads.

WRONGFUL DEATH is Book 9 of the Anna Travis Mysteries series written by Lynda La Plante.This crime drama, police procedural is packed with detailed, interesting characters and very complicated crime scenes.I thought our usual familiar characters - Anna Travis, James Langton, Mike Lewis, Paul Barolli, Paul Simms, Joan, Barbara - all were given a bit more personality and credit for their expertise.Anna’s side trip to Quantico in Virginia didn’t ring true with me.I did appreciate Ms. La Plante’s ‘A Note to the Readers’ about a discrepancy in the book that had to do with a previous title and plot point.I am very impressed with all the titles in this series and have read and enjoyed every one.
