Buried: The thrilling new crime series introducing Detective Jack Warr

Product Information

The gripping first book in a brand new thriller series by the Queen of Crime Drama, Lynda La Plante. She has another home in the US, and dated a banker there for a few years. She says: “I ended it, but he seemed quite relieved actually.” He was 62, and she says she has no worries about dating younger men. Lynda La Plante practically invented the thriller * KARIN SLAUGHTER, No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of THE GOOD DAUGHTER * Her first book went over extremely well, and other famous novels came to follow. One of her best known stories is The Talisman, published in 1987, closely followed by Bella Mafia in 1990. Soon afterward, she began work on Prime Suspect, which starred Helen Mirren. This opened the door for La Plante to win an Edgar-Award from the Mystery-Writers of America for her impressive work on the show.

I absolutely love Lynda La Plante and therefore could not wait to get my hands onto her latest novel. Thankfully Buried did not disappoint. Just love your books, Lynda. Just finished unholy murder and am just about to start Judas Horse. You are a truly amazing writer in the thriller genre. Reply I have on my audio books 174 titles, and I wish I could say they were all hers, but sadly not all available. Could you please endeavour to put all her books on audio…I have just finished the govener book 1, and I can’t find book 2. .. She must decide if she will risk her life to bring the killer to justice simply to claim the reward, or if she should leave the task to someone more experience, more willing, and more trusting than she will ever be able to trust herself after her difficult and harrowing past.

I’m thinking of teaching an Osher adult learning course on Lynda La Plante. Any observations about her work most appreciated. Reply

I have lived in China for the past 2O years,so getting English novels is not easy,although found odd ones on the internet here. So,my sister posts some to me,probably buys in Waterstones. Last year she sent a couple of your books,this year a couple more, including WIDOWS REVENGE,but this is the second one in the series,so cannot read it yet I am now hooked on them, have you any idea where they are available here. I am a 77 year old avid reader with a Chinese wife.I am preparing a new list to send to her, but if you have any idea where they may be available in China, would be great. I live in Suzhou City, about 60 miles inland from Shanghai. Reply A compelling, clever plot with a brilliant cast of diverse characters. Utterly riveting' - RACHEL ABBOTT, million-selling author of ONLY THE INNOCENTThis has a gritty and twisty plot which is so engrossing, but for me the real marvel is the characters. They are all so well developed and their personal lives and stories are heartbreaking at times, so well written you forget this is fiction.”

She says: “Absolutely. It wouldn’t worry me at all. But it’s finding somebody. Dating apps? I’m not sure that’s for me. We shall see what happens after all this crisis is over.”They are still in touch almost 30 years after the first Prime Suspect series in 1991. She says: “We probably speak once a year. A big part of my heart belongs to the show and with Helen.” She says: “Sometimes I wish I didn’t have so much inspiration. I’m a dreadful insomniac and I spend hours awake at night plotting.” There must be plenty to inspire her in the current situation. Absolutely love every Lynda la Plante novel I’ve read. Just finished Unholy Murder, so good and cleverly written. Can’t wait to start Judas Horse! Reply She says: “In truth, the fear element about coronavirus is growing with everyone, but if you obey the rules, you can help keep yourself safe and everybody around you safe. I feel great compassion for people going down with it.”
