Lynda la Plante is on great form with this cracking read about a murdered British movie star whose life was very different from the one she portrayed to the world. Alongside trying to solve the case DI Travis is trying for promotion but finding her path being blocked by those on high. Gripping, pacey and another smash for sure.
Hot young British film star Amanda Delany had the world at her feet. She'd had a string of affairs with famous actors, making perfect fodder for the tabloids. Then came a commission to write a tell-all memoir.
When Amanda is found brutally murdered, DCI James Langton's enquiry discovers the sad truth behind her successful façade. Addicted to drugs and starvation diets, she'd almost died from a botched abortion.
Meanwhile, DI Anna Travis is up for promotion, but Langton is blocking her, accusing her of professional misconduct. This latest case could make or break Anna's career.
