Story
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.

Story
In a city as old as London, the discovery is hardly surprising. But when scratch marks are found on the inside of the coffin lid, Detective Jane Tennison believes she has unearthed a mystery far darker than any she's investigated before. However, not everyone agrees. Tennison's superiors dismiss it as a historic cold case and the Church seems desperate to conceal the facts from the investigation. It's clear that someone is hiding the truth and perhaps even the killer. Tennison must pray she can find both - before they are buried forever.

Publisher's Summary
Can Jane Tennison uncover a serial killer?
The fourth in the Sunday Times best-selling Jane Tennison thrillers, Murder Mile is set in 1979 at the height of the 'Winter of Discontent', when economic chaos has led to widespread strikes across Britain.
Jane Tennison, now a Detective Sergeant, has been posted to Peckham CID, one of London's toughest areas. As the rubbish on the streets begins to pile up, so does the murder count: two bodies in as many days.
There are no suspects, and the manner of death is different in each case. The only link between the two victims is the location of the bodies, found within a short distance of each other near Rye Lane in Peckham. Three days later another murder occurs in the same area. Press headlines scream that a serial killer is loose on 'Murder Mile' and that police incompetence is hampering the investigation.
Jane is under immense pressure to catch the killer before they strike again. Working long hours with little sleep, what she uncovers leaves her doubting her own mind.

I thought I'd Like these more....
I am a huge fan of Lynda la plante and the Jane Tennyson stories so when they started making prequels to the Prime Suspect books I was pretty excited. After reading the first 4, I admit that I'm having a bit of a difficult time. The environment is so unceasingly negative it can be difficult to read the stories. The hatred and backstabbing of the male detectives is so unceasing it just gets depressing. At first I was interested in following Jane's journey but after 4 books, it's pretty clear why she ends up a lonely alcoholic. The actual mysteries are good with tight plots and interesting characters. I prefer the narrator of the 4th book as she wasn't so girlish. I will try 1 more book but I am not sure how much more I want to read about Jane's terrible mistreatment at the hands of the male establishment.

Volume changes made it impossible to listen to.
Conversations in the book taking place over the telephone resulted in constant volume control up and down. It's too difficult to hear the person slightly altered to demonstrate a telephone connection without turning up the volume and then it's blasting loud as it changes to normal parts of narration. After an hour over several days, I gave up on it.

Well written, BUT
The plot and writing are intelligent and engaging, I listened all the way to the end. However, I have to agree with another reviewer that everything is presented in a negative light - the interactions between the police murder team, Tennison's relationship with her family, to say nothing of the gruesome and gory recount of the several murders that take place. In other words, there aren't many characters here that are consistently likeable and that makes for a rather tiresome listen. Eleven and a half hours of human misery broken only by some slightly sappy and overly sentimental scenes. A bit of humor would have improved this book immensely.
Tennison herself leaves me feeling a bit meh. She seems to become the hero only because of her ability to tolerate other's bad behavior and keep going, and I'm not sure how admirable that really is. Maybe I have come to prefer stories in contemporary settings where women receive more respect and are able to stand up for themselves when they don't. The dynamic of a woman having to prove herself, over and over, to rather ridiculous men is perhaps meant to be inspiring, but I found it to be the opposite.
I won't be continuing with this series.

I was hoping for a bit more from this book. It was my first Lynda La Plante. Performance was pretty good, although some of the accents challenged the narrator. It did drag a little in places and would probably be a better TV episode than book.

Dated
Mostly awful because both police procedure and gender/sexual equality has come a long way.
Sometimes we’re responding to events or the characters’ decision/speech with bemused expressions because their actions seems illogical; sometimes we’re just groaning with the bigotry and outdated ideas.
The plot was alright.
The narrator was fine but her Scottish and Jamaican accents were pretty ropey.

Superb
I forgot just how good Lynda Is Plants is. Evan though forensics and communication has come along way since the book was set, the story telling and characters and plot are so good that those details don't matter, in fact they add to the frustration of not solving the crimes more quickly.
I don't know if LLP wrote with Helen Mirren in mind but, Helen Mirren IS Jane Tennison following her portrayal for tv of the detective. The narrator of this book picked the traits displayed by Mirren beautifully and I felt as though I was watching rather than listening!
Still makes me fume that Tennison was disrespected by her colleagues so frequently purely on her gender! I sincerely hope things are very different now.

I liked it but tbh, it was more of a 3.75 than a 4!
It was an ok story, but all the characters were always snapping at each other! If they’d been my friends or colleagues, I’d have been having words about conduct lol! I kept thinking there was going to be a further twist because the story was given out so easily, but there wasn’t. Enjoyable enough but I’ll prob forget about the story by next week!

Mediocre narration
Having just finished the 3 Prime Suspect novels read by Rachel Atkins, I found the narration on this book to be very dull and uninteresting. The story was a bit slow to get started and notary believable but became more interesting as the story developed.
This was an "included" title so I can't complain, but would have been disappointed if I had used a credit to purchase it.

Murder Mile
Thank goodness policing has changed for the good since this story was written in the 70’s. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing until I checked the book details and realised how old this book was. So homophobic in parts. I think Lynda La Plante has gotten better since she wrote this book. I found it weak and had lots of holes in it.. the voices were also hard to work out who was who. Overall I was disappointed

Great story
This was an excellent storyline. Plenty of intrigue and suspense threading through the story. worked out the possible perpetrator about 3/4 of the way through. Had a twist in the tail at the end. Enjoy Lynda's books.

Couldn’t get past the narrator
As others have said previously, it was at times difficult to pick out the different characters as they were often similar. What also didn’t help is the very clipped voice - didn’t sound anything like the Jane Tennyson from the TV series. I read this book years ago but just can’t get through this version.

Early days of Jane Tennison.
Four murders and a suicide make this a gripping story. Well narrated .Another book to add to my favourites

Young Tennison
Usual good level of suspense. A few anachronisms in the dialogue. The reader left something to be desired. Accents vary enough that I wasn’t always sure which character was speaking.
