Main character is D I Anna Travis from the Murder Squad who investigates the murder of young women near the man motorway in England. It is a story that holds you spellbound until the end. Another great book by Lynda La Plant.
It's beginning to look as if there's a serial killer on the loose and so far the detectives working on the case haven't even managed to identify all the victims. Enter DI Anna Travers who quickly gets an offer of help from an unlikely source. Cameron Welsh is not your average psychological profiler. For one thing, he's currently doing life for a series of particularly nasty murders. This, he suggests, gives him a unique insight into the mind of the killer and he'd like to discuss his ideas with Travers. As it happens, Anna would rather stick her head in a vat of boiling oil, but DCI James Langton, desperate for a breakthrough, orders her to see what Welsh has to offer. Despite sounding a bit like the "Silence of the Lambs", the interplay with Welsh is very much a subplot which, in many ways, is the weakest aspect of the novel. At the core of "Blind Fury" is a first rate police procedural where crime is committed by ordinary people whose lives fall apart under the pressure of their own weaknesses. This was my first Linda La Plante novel and I was pleased to find a coherent, well-paced piece of story-telling. The detective work is as much perspiration as inspiration, with hours spent working through lists and re-interviewing potential witnesses. La Plante follows the golden rule of detective fiction by making sure that the reader always knows at least as much as the detectives, whilst maintaining the suspense until the very end of the final interviewRead full review
