Summary
Detective Anna Travis is investigating the brutal murder of a young woman whose body was discovered in the Thames, brutalised and severed in half, a red flower in her hair.
With the case bearing an eerie resemblance to the famous unsolved murder case of Elizabeth Short—known as the Black Dahlia—media interest intensifies, and fears of a copycat take hold. But with almost no clues, the case is slowly going cold. That is until the killer reaches out to the press....
Determined to solve the case, Anna must keep her wits about her before the sadistic killer takes his next victim.

Good, but
I have nothing but praise for this book, other than Langtons anger issues.
Hearing them is quite triggering and distressing.

Good novel to "binge" listen.
The descriptive writing and the reader's ability to help you create the characters in your imagination.

I too found the narrator's sound very harsh.
The story, far stretched as it was, kept me listening but the narrators voice for Langton was overly harsh and shouting. The character written for him was far too impatient, especially when others, most notably Ann Travis were trying to pass him relevant information. At those times, which were far too frequent, his character was unbearable. I do not think that the stress of trying to solve such a horrific case was enough to explain this characteristic. Will not go out of my way to listen to another book like this and certainly not by this narrator.

Another good La Plante …
… although I do get annoyed at the continual use of surnames and the fact that the detective branch is portrayed as senior. In real life that is very much not the case and patrol officers do not chauffeur the detectives around. If that had even been suggested in the force, the DCs or whoever asking would have been laughed all the way to the garage and told to get a set of wheels for themselves!

Very Good Story, Awful Narration
Always enjoy Lynda La Plante and this storyline was no exception however the narrator destroyed the lead male character, Travis’s boss. He shouts, bellows and bullies his way through every conversation completely needlessly. Otherwise the narrator does a reasonable job if sometimes sinking into a barely audible monotone swinging between both extremes in a way which must have driven the sound engineer nuts. Good story, poor narrator.

A Book That Has You Gripped To The Last
I had thought Above Suspicion was excellent but my word, like the Harry Potter Series, the Red Dahlia was better than the first in this series. It is a book which just holds you from the very beginning where a paper boy finds the mutilated body of a 22 year old girl to the very last word. In this book James Langton and Anna Travis are after a ruthless killer who is feared even by the members of his household and for a long time during the investigation it's "one step forward, two steps Back" to quote Langton, at last they do get a small light and, after that it moves at a quicker pace and you are held gripped, unable to leave the book until it's finished. I thoroughly enjoyed it and once again Kristin Atherton does a fantastic job at keeping the listener held to the last. I certainly don't regret purchasing these first two books and look forward to the others.
