A Mysterious Review of Wrongful Death by Lynda La Plante. An Anna Travis Mystery.
Review summary: Three separate cases in one mystery may seem like a lot but the author deftly handles each in such a way that it is fairly easy to keep track of the subplots. Still, there are plenty of twists and turns in each of the cases to keep readers wary as to what might happen next. A solid entry overall in this series. (Click here for text of full review.)

Wrongful Death
Lynda La Plante
An Anna Travis Mystery
Bourbon Street Books (January 2015)
Publisher synopsis: Six months ago, London nightclub owner Josh Reynolds was found dead. Ruled a suicide, the police investigation was closed. Then a young man, awaiting trial for armed robbery, tells his guards that Reynolds was murdered, and that he has information to share.
DCI Anna Travis is scheduled to leave for training at Quantico, as part of an exchange between the Met and the FBI. But before she can leave, she's got to review the case thanks to her boss, DCS James Langton. Joining her team is senior FBI agent and crime scene expert Jessie Dewar.
The American's brash manner quickly ruffles feathers throughout the Met, and what should have been a simple matter of tying up loose ends becomes a political powder keg when the competence of the original investigation team is challenged. Suddenly, Anna is faced with a dangerous choice. Will she close ranks to protect her people, or push to find the truth no matter what the consequences?
