Summary
The gritty new thriller from the Queen of Crime Drama and the fifth book in the Sunday Times best-selling Jane Tennison series.
Jane Tennison has worked hard to become the first female detective ever posted to the infamous Flying Squad, or 'the Sweeney'. But the Dirty Dozen is a notorious boys' club, and Jane's new colleagues make it clear that they don't think a woman is up to the dangers of the job.
Dealing with some of London's most ruthless armed criminals, who think the only good cop is a dead cop, is no joke. Determined to prove she's as good as the men, Jane discovers from a reliable witness that a gang is going to carry out a massive robbery.
But she doesn't know who they are, or where and when they will strike....

Dreadful narration
The nation made everybody sound angry and arrogant even in situations that didn’t warrant it. It made the main character out to be a very bitter woman

Cracking story
Great next chapter in the Jane Tennison story. The narration is beginning to grate, however (just a bit too deliberate and evocative of lace doilies and crisp white table cloths) as are the constant references to 'hoping to be accepted as part of the team' and -'the importance of the investigation' - we get it and it doesn't need spelling out every few pages....
Having said that, the plot was great and I shall continue my Tennison Odyssey.

Shame about the performance
The reader does dialogue very well, but reads the narrative bits dreadfully by putting too much drama into it which results in disjointed sentences. It was very irritating. Please don’t spoil La Plantes marvellous stories with her again.

Not her best
The story was really about facts regarding police practice.
The narrator was not the best. I will look out for her to avoid her
