I remember watching Prime Suspect about Jane Tennison, now a Detective Sergeant and loving every episode and was disappointed when the show was done. That said, I was excited to read Murder Mile by Lynda LaPlante.
No garbage is being picked up due to a strike. Two bodies are found, one tossed out as if she were rubbish, the other one, an affluent woman found in the boot of her car. No links between the two and no suspects either. Three days later there is another body found. Is there a serial killer? The press seems to think so along with saying that the police are incompetent.
Jane and her fellow detectives are running on virtually no sleep and working long hours and are pressured to find the killer. This is 1979 and Jane often feels that her coworkers don't take her seriously so she needs to prove that she can solve the case.
I totally enjoyed this book, depicting Jane Tennison' earlier career. If you love a good mystery and enjoy a great British novel, then this is for you!
