Fresh Fiction Review

Blood Line

Thriller Police Procedural

How do you solve a problem like Anna Travis? With plenty of action, of course! BLOOD LINE is a thrilling and layered British crime procedural that is just as intriguing on the last page as it was on the first. Anna is now the Detective Chief Inspector and on the first murder case of her new position. But how do you solve a murder without a body? The only thing they have to go on is the blood at the scene of the probable crime. She needs to find the missing person that goes with that blood.  It doesn't look like this will be a very easy case but she needs to prove herself. This unpredictable investigation will shock and amaze you in every chapter. Anna Travis is a strong and capable female character that carries this book through until the very end. Wow, how can you not love how fast-paced this BLOOD LINE is? It never slows for very long and the twists and turns keep coming from all sides. BLOOD LINE was so exciting I kept reading for hours on end. Lynda La Plante just doesn't not waste any time at all! This seasoned series is a must-read for those of you who love crime novels. I have grown to love these books more and more as the series goes on. BLOOD LINE seems to be the best plotted and paced of the bunch (so far, at least!) and I can't wait for the next.

SUMMARY

Still reeling from the death of her fiance, Detective Anna Travis has thrown herself into her new role as the chief inspector for London's murder squad. When Scotland Yard's missing persons bureau is unable to locate the son of a court employee, the superintendent—James Langton, Anna's former lover turned sometimes friend—urges her to take on the suspicious assignment. But is this new investigation purely a missing persons case—or a full-blown murder inquiry? An ominous pool of blood with no locatable victim leads Anna on a desperate hunt for a man who has disappeared without a trace. With no body, and increasing pressure to make an arrest, Anna becomes obsessed with the smallest details of the case. Now, one man has vanished, a killer may be loose on the streets, and, as Langton looks on, Anna Travis may be losing control of the investigation—and of herself.
