Prime Suspect lovers are in for a treat for this once again gives us a large slice in the development of Jane Tennison. In the eponymous book published last year we followed Jane as a probationer with the Met in Hackney in the 70s. Now in this (which is actually Tennison 2) we see her promoted and moved to Bow Street which is the result of commendation for bravery when used as a decoy in a rather nasty rape case. She now has CID status but is still fighting the bigoted, chauvinistic world of a force dominated by men. Her next major case involves a bath drowning which seems on the surface to be a tragic accident but she thinks otherwise. Through these two seemingly unexpected cases and a couple of other incidents she is led to spot evidence ignored by her superiors and does begin to wonder about their agenda. I suspect we will have another slice of Jane’s development as we travel slowly to 1991 and Prime Suspect. This Tennison series would make great TV. ~ Sarah Broadhurst
