This is the bloody-minded Tennison that we know and love, and Murder Mile will be catnip to admirers of Britain's best-known female detective * Crime Time * All the characters are perfectly written. And the plot was super intriguing as well * The Misstery * La Plante's tense, taut style, with emphasis on plot, characterisation, location and era, comes across strongly and convincingly and carries the book to an explosive and gruesome denouncement * CrimeReview.co.uk *
