The Dirty Dozen

Jane Tennison, Book 5

By: Lynda La Plante

Narrated by: Laura Kirman

The gritty new thriller from the Queen of Crime Drama and the fifth book in the Sunday Times best-selling Jane Tennison series.

Jane Tennison has worked hard to become the first female detective ever posted to the infamous Flying Squad, or 'the Sweeney'. But the Dirty Dozen is a notorious boys' club, and Jane's new colleagues make it clear that they don't think a woman is up to the dangers of the job.

Dealing with some of London's most ruthless armed criminals, who think the only good cop is a dead cop, is no joke. Determined to prove she's as good as the men, Jane discovers from a reliable witness that a gang is going to carry out a massive robbery.

But she doesn't know who they are, or where and when they will strike....

Critic reviews

"Lynda La Plante practically invented the thriller." (Karin Slaughter)

Very much enjoyed it!

Enjoyed the story, characters, narrator, and this series. Looking forward to another satisfying read by this excellent author.

Excellent!

Well written, great narration, good story line and character development. Highly recommend this audio book.

Predictable and narration was “so-so”

The plot was predictable and the narrator performance was marginally tolerable, it was especially hard listening to the male characters voices…maybe it was the plot or maybe not.
