The victim was young. Female. And black. Her  skull had been smashed in, her face decomposed  beyond all recognition. But for Detective Chief  Inspector Jane Tennison, the corpse that had just been  found in one of London's poorest communities was  only the beginning of a case that would tear apart  an already divided city . . .and embroil the  gritty cop and her force in a hotbed of racial strife,  shocking accusations, and sudden, wrenching  violence. But Jane Tennison was not a  woman who let anything get in the way of her  passion for justice. Not the racism of some of the boys  in the station house, or the slippery politicking  of her superiors. Not even when her own stormy  love life explodes in sleazy tabloid headlines.  Because a brutal and seductive killer was still at  large, luring innocent girls from London's midnight  streets. And because for Jane Tennison, stalking  her prime suspect has become an obsession -- one  that could send her spiraling over the edge . . .… (mais)

I'm a huge crime fiction lover and I especially love those that are based on truth. So, when the chance arose to review books 1 and 2 in Ms. La Plante's Prime Suspect series, I jumped. What I found in these two books was gripping complexity that will leave the reader hungry for more!

In Prime Suspect, Jane Tennison's a woman doing a man's job. And those men...well, they aren't too pleased about it, so she has a lot to prove. All she wants is a chance to lead an investigation and prove that she's worthy of doing it the boys' way. She gets her break, when quite unexpectedly, the lead Chief Investigator dies of heart failure and she's thrown into the driver's seat of a murder investigation. Tennison digs around and digs deep, causing a lot of ruckus around the precinct. When the clues she finds lead to a new angle, the Prime Suspect is set for release.

I really enjoyed reading about Tennison's tense investigation and watching her prove herself to the boys. I felt myself transform to the middle of the story, as I saw the events unfold through her eyes. It really was a good ride as I followed her on the investigation, searching for the clues, and trying to find out just who the real victim was!

In A Face In Crowd, the tensions are once again rising and leaping to the heart of the story. Tennison is back in full swing and her investigating is once again complex. She's still on a bout to prove her self as the Chief Investigator to her male co-workers. They still don't feel she's up to the work, but when another killer is on the loose in the heart of London, it will be up to Tennison to, once again, prove that she can get the prime suspect before they escape.

The ride was once again a tense one, this time, filled with racism and hatred of the worst. Will Tennison be able to capture her suspect, and once again, close a case before her personal issues are laid before all of London?

These books were, to me, some of the best written pieces of work. Most of the crime novels I read are based here in the States, but reading these ones that are based in London, was awesome. I become a part of London, and each page brought with it a new piece to the puzzle, yet I couldn't quite grasp the who-dun-it until the very last pages. I definitely recommend these books with 4 Books and two thumbs up. Ms. La Plante is an author who's works are going on my wish list now!

I sex år hade den unga flickan legat begravd i en stenlagd trädgård i en av Londons svarta förorter. När kroppen av en slump hittas rivs gamla hemligheter upp. Jane Tennison, överkommissarie, utses att leda utredningen. Vem var flickan? Varför dog hon? Och vem mördade henne?

Det blir Jane Tennisons andra mordutredning – en ny chans att visa vad hon går för. Visst hade hon mötts av respekt efter Marlow-fallet ett år tidigare, visst hade hon fått rykte om sig att vara både tuff och kompetent, men i den mansdominerade världen på mordroteln var misstron lika kompakt som alltid.
Tennisson kämpar i motvind mot sin oförstående chef, mot avoga underordnade – och mot sina egna känslor för en av männen bland dem. Och när utredningen drar igång, måste hon satsa hela sin kapacitet, allt sitt engagemang i en mördarjakt där samtliga vittnen tycks ha något att dölja.

(Sammanfattning från bokens baksida)

Det är genom den brittiska tv-serien som jag har lärt känna Jane Tennison och hennes team. Jag har sagt det förut och jag säger det igen: Britterna kan verkligen det här med att göra bra tv! Och inte är de sämre på att skriva bra böcker!

I mördarens spår 2 – Stumt vittne är en ren njutning att läsa. Intrigen är spännande med en hel del twists and turns på vägen. Men det är inte den som är höjdpunkten i den här historien utan det är karaktärerna. Jane Tennison kämpar och slåss med näbbar och klor för att bevisa, både för sig själv och andra, att hon är en mycket duglig polis. Och för det mesta lyckas hon riktigt bra, men hon tar vissa beslut som inte ses med blida ögon av alla inom kåren.
En som verkligen vill sätta Tennison på plats är hennes kollega Oswalde som går emot hennes order i ett kritiskt skede av utredning. Detta för förödande konsekvenser. Inte bara för Oswalde och Tennison utan även för den som Oswalde har placerat i häktet.

Samtidigt går den riktige mördaren och letar efter nya offer och det dröjer inte länge förrän han har fått syn på en lämplig kandidat för några fotografier …

Mördaren är så trovärdigt beskriven att det riktigt kryper i kroppen när man läser om hans framfart, hans tankar, hans agerande och hans syn på livet. Det är kusligt. ( )

Please be careful when combining Prime Suspect 2. Lynda La Plante not only wrote the book, but was the screenwriter for the TV series with the same name.
