Publisher's Summary

It is every mother's nightmare. Her child is missing, found murdered. Her lover is the prime suspect.

It is every police officer's dread. A child murder. A circumstantial case.

It is every solicitor's dream. Twelve men and women will decide the verdict. But only you can decide if justice is done for the victim.

Brilliant

Like so many others, I also thought they had the wrong man right until the end. I have now purchased her next 3 books.

Didn't quite meet expectations, still recommended

I guess the bar was high, following not just Jane Tennison but also the TV series, with Kate Buffery outstanding as Pat North.
I almost lost interest halfway as the the plot of the murdered child seemed to founder in familar cliches of stepfather etc.
But I persisted and glad I did as it did transcend mere cliche.
When I read Lynda la Plante I must admit to a positive bias based on Tara Moss's interviews, which really do highlight Lynda's multi-media skills! Hence the expectations! Books nowadays very much have an increasingly multi-media context.

Great book.

Enjoyed this book an easy listen, although was unsure at the start because, I always enjoyed the TV series. Found the book as good as the TV series. Storyline was good and enjoyed the narration.

Guilty or not guilty

Oh no I thought he was not guilty I wouldn’t have been a very good juror
Evidence showed at the finish he was
