This is my first book to read from author Lynda la Plante, but I won’t judge her by it. You see my favorite author ever, Karen Slaughter, speaks highly of La Plante saying that she invented the thriller. So I’ll be reading one of her stand alone books in hopes of a more ‘thrilling’ read.
Blunt Force Trauma is the sixth in a series of books I’ve never read before. This book was a slow, complex read that seem to go on forever. The author does an excellent job with descriptions and because of this you know she has thoroughly researched her topics. By the time I finished reading, I was really disappointed.
It opens with main character, Jane Tennison, at a shooting range practicing. Here the reader gets a well described lesson on gun ranges and shooting. We learn what Jane has been doing since being relieved of her duties on the Flying Squad. Her new job is cushy with mostly petty crimes, if any crimes at all. Tennison and her partner, Spence, receive a call about a blood stained dog running on the loose. This leads them to the dead body of a well-known talent agent. Tennison and her partner launch into a thorough investigation with the goal of finding the killer.
