Tennison by Lynda La Plante

5.0

If you like detective stories, you’re gonna love this! Jane Tennison is a probationer officer aspiring to become a detective at a police station in London in an area of high criminality. She slowly gets involved in bigger cases - and the book focuses on two of them: a murder associated with drugs, and a bank robbery. You also get to know more about this unique character, a single lady that still lives with her parents in the 1970s, but slowly realizes she needs to move on to get on with her life. The story is involving, and full of surprises - in the beginning, middle, and even in the end - so it will get you hooked from page 1. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series and follow the character in her next set of adventures! This is actually a prequel, so there's plenty of other books to read (and more to follow).
