Summary
From the creator of the award-winning ITV series Prime Suspect, starring Helen Mirren, comes the fascinating back story of the iconic DCI Jane Tennison.
In 1973 Jane Tennison, aged 22, leaves the Metropolitan Police Training Academy to be placed on probationary exercise in Hackney, where criminality thrives. We witness her struggle to cope in a male-dominated, chauvinistic environment, learning fast to deal with shocking situations with no help or sympathy from her superiors. Then comes her involvement in her first murder case. No one witnessed the savage beating of a tragic young girl who, the postmortem reveals, was pregnant when she died. The murder enquiry is soon running cold....

Took me back
It was good to go back in time to when Jane Tennison started her career. I thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to listening to the others.

In the Begining
Lovely to meet that we’ll know character Jane Tennyson at the very start of her career. The action was fast and all linked up. The characters are well drawn, from the “greasy Greek” to the roughs of the housing estate to the various departments of the Met. Jane’s flair for forensics is born right in her probationary time. A great read

Really excellent
This was my first encounter with Linda La Plante's books, and after the pleasure of listening to Jane Tennison's back story, I'm officially hooked. The characters are interesting and the plotlines are cleverly thought out and well executed. The narration was perfect, and I have no complaints in that regard either.

a fantastic book
overall I really enjoyed this book, the story line had me hooked till the end. I will admit the accents were very dodgy especially the attempt at a Jamaican accent.

Good detective story
An enjoyable detective story which kept an element of intrigue of the various characters. Very well read with good character accents.
