A security van heist goes disastrously wrong, and three women are left widowed. When Dolly Rawlins discovers her gang boss husband's plans for the failed hijack, an idea starts to form. Could she and the other wives finish the job their husbands started? As the women rehearse the raid, it becomes clear that someone else must have been involved. But only three bodies were found in the wreckage. Who was the fourth man? And where is he now?

Jack Warr is a young DC with the Metropolitan Police. Charming but aimless, Jack can't seem to find his place in the world - until he's drawn into an investigation that turns his life upside down. In the aftermath of a fire at a derelict cottage, a badly charred body is discovered, along with the burnt remnants of millions of stolen, untraceable bank notes - the hidden legacy of Dolly Rawlins and her gang of Widows. Jack's assignment to the case coincides with an investigation into his own past.

Publisher's Summary
A coffin is dug up by builders in the grounds of a historic convent - inside is the body of a young nun.
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....
In Unholy Murder, Tennison must lift the lid on the most chilling murder case of her career to date....

Outdated Cruelty is Not For Me…
This offering is so outdated is was laughable at times… explaining microwave ovens.. and 80’s dress sense.. outlandish…
But the Catholic cruelty factor was nauseating and upsetting to the max,

Lynda La Plante, I sure hope you will write many more murder mystery, thriller, mystery, and/or police procedural books! 🙂 Such great characters and interactions between them, as well as interesting story lines, and of course excellent narration as well.

Ouch - & yuck
I hoped this would be a punchy murder-mystery, not a series of overworked clichés about a young policewoman making stupid mistakes whilst falling for someone who could well be a prime suspect. I’ve given up listening 2 hours in to the story. I wanted Jane Tennyson, not Maid Marian. Over-description and trying much to hard to set the story in the late 1970s kill it stone dead. Come on Lynda Laplante, you can do so, so, SO much better than this! Very disappointing indeed.

Did not finish this book
I have read and loved all Lynda La Plante’s previous books, the Prime Suspect series in particular were brilliantly written and nail bitingly tense. This book I would have said wasn’t written by the same author. The dialogue is lumpy and banal and so lacking in tension I find myself making shopping lists and ideas in my head while the talking goes on in the background unnoticed. Sorry to be critical but I am disappointed, this book is sadly lacking in everything, weak characters and I don’t understand why Jane Tennison has become an ordinary copper with no presence or authority, I couldn’t even be bothered to read beyond chapter 5

Mills and Boon
Whoever wrote the screenplay for Prime Suspect on TV was a genius, if this was the kind of La Plante raw material it was based on.
Soppy, sentimental and without tension, the story rarely pokes it head above her attempt to seduce every male character. Having loved Prime Suspect on the TV this was incredibly disappointing and we gave up listening half way through as we lost interest in the story line and didn’t really want to listen to another 6 hours of sentimentality in order to find out who was the perpetrator of the crime.

Not recommended due to narrator
I must be honest, it was hard to follow the story due to the poor narration. I felt like a toddler being read a really inappropriate story at preschool by a lazy, half asleep teacher, with no talent at voices but hey, you have to do what you’re paid to do. The male voices all sounded like a woman imitating an 80s sleezebag for a laugh, and the foreign accents were borderline offensive. Almost worse was the attributions pulled me out every single time as they were so jarring (eg Jane said), which they had a whole different voice for. It became a running joke as we listened I’ve learned a lesson to read reviews on narrators as much as the books now. Such a shame.

not the best narrator
The story is good but I really didn't like the narration and kept wishing the narrator would just read the book instead of trying to be everyone... badly.
The story is full of twists and turns in true Lynda La Plante style., but it isn't her best book.
