This is how a thriller should be written

I love to read crime novels, especially English ones. For some reason I like them much better than others. When I was in London last May I took home Deadly Intent by Lynda La Plante. I had never heard of this author before, I only knew that she wrote She's Out, that is also a TV series, with Anna Patrick in one of the roles. Last October I went to London again and I thought it was time to take Deadly Intent with me for a good read. And a good read it was. I didn't even notice we were passing the Channel Tunnel. The book is about DI Anna Travis who has to solve yet another case. I didn't know there were more books about this DI, but this really was a great start. There is a shooting in a notorious drugs dealers squat in norht London and Anna is determined to find answers. I read a little about her private life and all about the case. I love to read a little about the DI's private lifes, but the real thing I want to read is that the murder(s) is/are getting solved. Elizabeth George has the habbit to describe all the side characters aswell that makes her books a bit boring to read for me, as I don't want to know about anybody but Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers. Lynda La Plante did the perfect job with this book for me. I bought the other books in the series of Anna Travis aswell and I was lucky enough to find the new book Silent Scream in the stores. I am really looking forward to read the books and to learn more about DI Anna Travis.
