Backlash

Anna Travis, Book 8

By: Lynda La Plante

Narrated by: Kristin Atherton

When a new lead in a cold case comes to light, Detective Anna Travis faces the biggest challenge of her career. Five years ago, a teenage girl disappeared in broad daylight on a busy street and the mystery has haunted Anna's boss Langton, who led the original investigation, for years.

With a confession to this murder and one more besides, Langton believes he finally has his man—but Anna isn't so sure. With a lack of evidence, the confession is critical to the arrest. And when the suspect changes his story, it looks like the case could fall apart. Can Anna and Langton find the evidence they need before the trail once again goes cold?

Getting tired of Anna excusing Langdon.

This is one of the best series I have ever read but listening to this installment made me realize that I am over Anna letting Langdon get away with his bad decisions. I’m glad there is only one book left in the series because I can’t take another with her letting him call all of the shots and throwing others under the bus.

Hate predictability in a thriller.

So clear where La Plante was headed with the story line. Incredibly insulting to police persons everywhere. None are as incompetent as book portrays.
