What an emotional rollercoaster

You know when it’s a fabulous book and narrated fantastically , when you get to a part in the book and you have tears rolling down your face and you feel their pain.
You definitely have to listen to the books in order so you get to understand the ‘ relationship and all Anna and Langton ‘ have been through ..
Awesome narration .. I still want to give Langton a good shake though .. They BELONG TOGETHER.. but sametime total utter respect to Anna for being so strong
Very VERY highly recommend this book and all the series .. Now to start the next book in the series

Brilliant narration, good story, but ...

I have immense respect for Lynda La Plante and am a huge fan of her Jane Tennison series.
I am enjoying the Anna Travis series, but there are so many parallels between the two characters that sometimes, when I'm reading about Anna Travis, it feels as though I'm reading about Jane Tennison. Anna is an unattached woman with no friends, short-lived love affairs and a single-minded dedication to her career - remind you of anyone? It might have been a good idea to have made Anna completely different, but that's just an observation on my part and I am still enjoying the series.
I'm surprised that someone of Lynda's brilliance makes reference to the Citizens' Prosecution Service and the Criminal Prosecution Service - neither of these organisations exist. The correct name is Crown Prosecution Service.
Another factual inaccuracy - SPOILER ALERT - Smiley confesses to the murders during the police interview, in the presence of his solicitor, and the admission is recorded. Why, then, is there reference to his trial? When a suspect makes a formal confession, there's no need for a trial, only a sentencing hearing. Trials are for people who continue to protest their innocence.
Here's another observation: each Anna Travis story contains the following:
1. Her phone rings just as she's about to go to bed
2. She drinks too much, forgets to set the alarm and wakes up with a headache
(Just saying ...!)
Having said all that, this is a superb series and the quality of the writing is awesome.
Also, I think this narrator is one of the best I've ever heard. Her range is voices - male and female - is remarkable.

I cried....

was really rooting for Anna, but had a feeling it was going to go the way it did.

3 stars for performance as I notice the wrong name was used at least once in certain parts.

Great series.

This was a great 6th book in the series. While i worked out who the killer was early on, it was great following the team as they investigated the killings. Anna was fantastic and managed to work better with the team as well as coming up with a lot of the main leads.

Good solid listen

Much better written than the Jane Tennison series - there are many parallels between Anna Travis & JT, but the narrative isn't as clumsy and you don't feel quite so patronised with the endless labouring of very obvious observations. Sadly I saw the end coming a mile off, but it was a taut and twisty tale nevertheless. Liked the characters.
Was going to give up on Linda la Plante after getting fed up with Jane Tennyson, but now willing to give Anna Travis a bit of a run!
Oh, the different narrator also made all the difference!

The only dislike was I felt the story was a bit too complicated towards the end

Great story

My only annoyance in the reading is the number of times that sandwiches are mentioned and pronounced so weirdly. If I had a pound for every blooming Sandwich!

Not the best in the series

Quite good plot but came to a sudden end with a total confession which was odd.
Too much romance for me. Do people actually get engaged after knowing each other for such a brief time?? Maybe.
Obvious outcome too
Superb narration.
