I remember now why it's been so long... I enjoy her story telling but I really don't like her characters. She fleshes them out just fine, I just don't like them as people. It's hard to stay interest in characters I don't care about. Even so, La Plante has written others that I haven't read yet and I'll likely give those a shot. ( ) A gritty police procedural by the author of the Prime Suspect series with Jane Tennison. This series features young detective Anna Travis who is investigating the murder of an up-and-coming actress. It was longer than necessary because there was so much interpersonal detail about Travis and her ex-lover who is also her superior officer. It was OK, but La Plante's writing has become formulaic. I'll read more of the series sometime and hope she changes the tune. Anna Travis is investigating the murder of up and coming young actress, Amanda Delaney. There is little evidence to go on and the squad seems to stumble along with no real progress. Of course, it is Anna who provides the leads that help solve the case. SILENT SCREAM is Lynda La Plante’s Book 5 of her Anna Travis Mysteries series. SILENT SCREAM is a crime thriller, a suspenseful mystery and a ‘police procedural’. Travis is a very flawed character - a brilliant detective, extremely hard-working - but obsessed with her job. With no family, friends or even close co-workers, her stress levels are off the charts. She can be quite stubborn and impetuous and is haunted by and hounded by ex-lover (and Boss) James Langton. The book is quite detailed, well-organized and suspenseful. I like this series. I just wish I liked the main characters a bit more.
