Product Description
Young Anna Travis has been assigned to her first murder case - a series of killings that has shocked even the most hardened of detectives. They started eight years ago - now the body count is up to six. The method of killing is identical, the backgrounds of the girls identical - all drug-users and prostitutes. Then a seventh body is found. The modus operandi is the same - but the victim is a young student with the 'face of an angel'. The profile of the murderer has changed dramatically. Determined to earn the respect of her male colleagues, Anna stumbles on a vital piece of information which links one man to the killings, a much-loved actor on the brink of international stardom. His arrest would create a media frenzy. But if he were found innocent, his wouldn't be the only career over - Anna's hard fought for reputation would be destroyed once and for all ...

Wow! I could not put this down
The last few LLP books I have read haven't been great so I started this one with trepidation - after page 1 I was hooked! I stayed up half the night reading and blamed the fact that I had bags under my eyes on my 11 week old son. Suffice to say after doing the motherly duties, I kept on reading and had the book finished within 24 hours . It reminded me of Prime Suspect, LLP at her best but I felt this was better. I sincerely hope she caries on with this character as she is just great. I am already looking forward to her next book
Above Suspicion
This was the first book I have read from this author and very good I found it too. A very easy read and fast-moving story although finding a few legal errors were disappointing. Read it on and off over three days and would certainly read more by this author again.
What would it be like if Robson Jerome were secretly a serial killer?
No, just messin, but seriously, La Plante comes up with a fascinating plotline. A serial killer is afoot and he might just be a very well known and well liked actor. It's up to young Detective Anna Travis to get to the truth. But, is she getting too close to the suspect?
I can't really picture Hugh Grant, for example, as a serial killer, but La Plante paints a convincing picture. It took me only a morning to read this book, so hooked on it was I. Enjoy!
(If I had to put money on an actor that could turn into a serial killer, it'd probably be Brad Pitt- way too convincing in Kalifornia!)
