Prime Suspect 3: Silent Victims

By Lynda La Plante

Book Overview

In Prime Suspect 3, internationally bestselling author Lynda La Plante's no-nonsense detective, Jane Tennison, takes on the most insidious nemesis she's ever faced--her own mounting obsessions.

Determined to bring justice to the murder of a teenaged male prostitute, but thwarted by conspiracy, corruption, and chauvinism at every level of her own police force, Jane is starting to crack. And though she's finally broken through the glass ceiling of her old station house and been promoted to the Soho Vice Squad, her furious quest for the truth will put everything she's accomplished back on the line.

Readers of Laura Lippman's Tess Monaghan thrillers, La Plante's Anna Travis mysteries, and television series like Bones, The Closer, and Law and Order: SVU will not want to miss the final, memorable chapter in the hard-boiled female detective series that started them all--Prime Suspect 3: Silent Victims.

Customer Reviews

Excellent detective story!

I bought this book after seeing the PBS special (with Helen Mirren) while taking a college course on Crime and Punishment in Modern England. The book is every bit as satisfying as the BBC show. Not only has Inspector Tennyson put up with a bunch of junk to be promoted to her current position- in the worst part of town, according to the police- but now that she's the boss, she still has to deal with broo-ha-ha from her under- and overlings. Ever persistent, she knows when to smell a rat and when not to yell at her detectives. I had a hard time putting this book down, so read it over a weekend just in case you have the same dilemma!

a super dooper crime story...

I've read this novel and I liked it so much... it was really interesting to the extent that I finished reading it within just three days... I am not saying this because I am one of Lynda La Plante's big fans, but because the story is worth it... to those who are fond of the full-of-twists and surprises stories, it'll satisfy you...
