Customer Reviews

Lynda la plante is a great writer.

Her books are newly discovered by me although I have seen some of them made into tv movies or series. I can't put her books down, feel like I'm in the book, not just reading . Have ordered all her books that I haven't already read. I didn't know she wrote the Jane Tennison books also. And Inspector lynely too?
