The rest of the office is pretty much ignored beyond there are other officers working there. So I never really felt I got to know any of them and they were barely distinguishable from each other. One female can't get a sandwich without tomatoes, the other female isn't made to get lunch, one male has a newborn baby and the other male does not. Lynda La Plante was born on March 15th 1943, in Liverpool, in the UK. She is the author of the Anna Travis novels, but she is best known for being the creator of the Prime Suspect TV series, which has been on TV for a number of years.
The mood is claustrophobic--the action takes place in the murder room (a specifically British, if not British crime fiction creation), in interrogation rooms with hostile witnesses, at crime scenes and, occasionally, at Anna's home or the home of a lover--all of whom are with the police and involved in one way or another with this increasingly complex case. I feel this book is most likely the end of the series. Hope I'm wrong, but that's the impression I have. Langton retires and Anna has a new love interest ... a member of the FBI at Quantico. Lynda was so successful with her TV shows and her books that she decided to make her own television production company, called La Plante Productions. Through this company she has written many TV shows in the UK, all of which have been very successful. The one that is still on TV now is the famous Trial and Retribution. Kapağı ismi konusu kısacası ambajı ilk çıktığında çok dikkatimi çekmiş alıp okumak istemiştim. Bir arkadaşım okuyup beklentimi yüksek tutmamam gerektiğini söyleyince hafif bir hayalkırıklığım oldu ama yinede okumaya kararlıydım ve iyikide okumuşum kitabı şahsen ben çok beğendim After leaving school, Lynda La Plante briefly worked as a trainee at a fashion house before moving to London to pursue an acting career. She landed a role in a touring production of the musical Cabaret and later worked as a nightclub hostess to make ends meet. In the early 1970s, she turned to writing, penning episodes of popular British television shows like Z-Cars and The Sweeney.

Meanwhile, Anna was invited to the FBI Academy in Virginia for a ten week training course. She had been nominated by Langton after another detective had been unable to go, accompanying him for the special course. But he also told her to get the Reynolds case finalized before she could leave. Another major distraction is that whilst in the earlier books there is a lot of concentration on the relationship between Travis and Langton, it's rise and ultimate fall fitted into the storylines well, not distracting from the main aim of the books which was always to solve a baffling crime. Unfortunately in this book - with the definite end of the relationship the constant soul-searching of Travis just gets in the way - there were way too many times when the reader was told all about how conflicted she is having to work with Langton, how she still loves Langton, how a new relationship will be complicated by the pain she felt when Langton left her. And she does form a new relationship in this book - and it is a bit of a highlight in the storyline for a short while. Anna is a dogged sort of a detective character, who has had a complicated personal life - having had a short-lived but dramatic affair with her previous boss - James Langton. She is still feeling the loss of that relationship and finding dealing with Langton on a daily basis very difficult. When he steps into overall control of the investigation of the death of Brandon, she's dealing firstly with a very complicated case with no apparent leads, and secondly with her fragile personal feelings. Langton is more shadowy than ever in DEADLY INTENT as well, which is going to make it difficult for any reader new to the series to understand, for a start, what Anna could possibly have seen in him, or in his defence, why he is like he is. There are hints throughout but they just didn't seem to help that much. For such a big, hefty book there are a number of underdone major characters throughout which is disappointing. DCI Cunningham has a touch of the wonderfully acerbic, grumpy female seniors about her, but she bounces in and out of the narrative so much it's hard to get a good look at her.
Angered at being passed over for promotion to commander in favour of the younger, less experienced Sam Power, Langton heads the investigation into the murder of temperamental, promiscuous film star Amanda Delaney, who was seemingly about to embark on tell-tale memoirs. Langton and Travis are interested in a crucifix found on the corpse which did not belong to the victim. These are two best books in Anna Travis series by Lynda La Plante, Above Suspicion and The Red Dahlia. Well, Deadly Intent is a little different to the rest. But you can bet that the author is already typing away at a new adventure. Lynda La Plante is an award winning and bestselling English novelist and screenwriter. She is best known for her Prime Suspect ITV series starring Jane Tennison.Once again she's gone with American spelling-authorized/apologized/modernization...there were missing speechmarks and dropped commas, there were apostrophes missing as well for variation. La Plante writes novels and for the screen (she is most known for “Prime Suspect”, a television series). She has written the “Trial and Retribution” series, the “Jane Tennison” series, the “Legacy” series, the “Dolly Rawlins” series, the “ Anna Travis” series, some short fiction, and some stand alone novels. LYNDA LA PLANTE AWARDS In Wrongful Death, Anna is now leading her own team. It has been so much fun seeing how she has grown and matured. Oh, I had a lot of problems with this. The storyline was so-so and it never really put me on the edge of my seat as I had hoped. Given La Plante's history as a screenwriter I can imagine it more as a TV drama, and it was written like one with heavy emphasis on dialogue. However, it wouldn't be a show I would really want to watch. We knew all along who did it, and the only question really was whether he got caught. The side characters never interested me enough to really care and the cops were a thoroughly annoying bunch of stereotypes.
Langton also informed Anna that she would have a special FBI Agent who was a crime scene expert to help her out. Jessie Dewar was doing special research so the FBI had sent her to the MET in London to work with the murder investigation squad. But Jessie made no friends with her abrupt and know-it-all manner; Anna’s team, including Anna herself, immediately had their noses out of joint, being told by someone from the USA what to do in the UK – she didn’t even know the road rules! DEADLY INTENT is the fourth book in the Anna Travis series, made up of ABOVE SUSPICION, THE RED DAHLIA and CLEAN CUT. It's been a series which I've really enjoyed... up until this book, which I have to say disappointed. Silent Scream– Hot young British film star Amanda Delany had the world at her feet. Never one for the quiet life, she’d had a string of affairs with famous actors, making perfect fodder for the tabloids… Then came a commission to write a tell-all memoir. When Amanda is found brutally murdered, the suspects are lining up – from jealous ex-flatmates to famous lovers to a corrupt agent.
In 1983, Lynda La Plante wrote and produced the first season of Widows, a groundbreaking television drama about a group of women who band together to pull off a heist after their husbands are killed during a robbery. The show was a critical and commercial success, and La Plante won a BAFTA award for Best Drama Series. She followed up with several successful television dramas, including Prime Suspect, which starred Helen Mirren as Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison. The show ran for seven seasons and is widely considered one of the greatest British television dramas of all time. DI Anna is part of the team conducting the investigation, and soon DCI James Langton is called in to head the inquiry. It is a year since Anna and James worked together, and the two once had a romantic relationship that went sour since James would not commit. At first, Anna is afraid of working with James that the investigation takes over everything. I really enjoy the relationship of both characters and now, thanks to the TV dramas I can picture them too !! Dedicated, intuitive and utterly obsessive, DCI James Langton is ruthless in his pursuit of a gang of illegal immigrants, killers of a young prostitute. When he is horrifically, almost fatally injured by one of them, it falls upon DI Anna Travis to put her own career on hold as she nurses him through his intense frustration and desperation to bring his would-be murderer to justice.
While there are issues with this novel, it's still a decent addition to the Anna Travis series for fans of police procedural mystery/thrillers. There is a good crime novel in Deadly Intent, but the book has too much filler, too much soul-searching drama, too much detail, and too many loose ends. If you're looking for an easy-to-read, frothy beach read, than look elsewhere.Some reviewers complain that the story drags. I feel that it's probably more accurate than a lot of what we see on television. Lab tests, DNA tests, and other forensic work take time, often weeks, before results are obtained. A lot of detective work is a type of drudgery, and I think La Plante does a great job of developing her stories so that readers understand this. Her America trip rapidly approaching, and the Reynolds investigation more confused than ever, Anna realized she had to make a decision – leave Dewar in charge, and hope she didn’t mess things up, or forgo her once in a lifetime opportunity at FBI headquarters. What would she do? Above Suspicion: the Red Dahlia, ITV, review". The Daily Telegraph. London. 5 January 2010 . Retrieved 23 April 2010. Langton allows Anna to spend an evening at the ballet with the prime suspect, a handsome actor on the brink of stardom. A discovery at the place where one of the victims lived helps Anna set a trap. Meanwhile, sparks fly between Anna and Langton. Son dönem İngiliz polisiyeleri nedense çok beğendim katagorisine sokamayan ben için bu gayet büyük bir şey olabilir:)
