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.

classic
I have read this book before.. long time ago and was really pleased to be able to listen to it on Audible. The narrative was exactly as I had imagined it in my head when I read the book so it was a bit like catching up with old friends. Great story .. never gets old.. true classic. Lynda la Plante never disappoints does she?
I also listened to the preview of Widows Revenge afterwards and was disappointed to note it was a different narrator.. I shall reserve judgement and see how it changes my feelings on the story after I have heard the whole book.

Enjoyable in a Carry On kind of way!
I enjoyed listening to this book but wasn’t quite sure how to take it as it felt almost like an episode of Eastenders meets a Carry On film…this is probably due to the voices used by the reader. Nevertheless it was an easy listen and I’ve started the next in the series.

Linda LaPlante never disappoints, and the storyline is compelling. I had several very late nights on the 'just one more chapter' principle. But what makes this audiobook exceptional is the narrator, Annie Aldington. She is amazing, and manages a unique and distinctive accent for each of the many characters, male and female. Fantastic, and very enjoyable.
