During 1974 and 1975 the IRA subjected London to a terrifying bombing campaign. In one day alone, they planted seven bombs at locations across central London. Some were defused - some were not.

Jane Tennison is now a fully-fledged detective. On the way to court one morning, Jane passes through Covent Garden Underground station and is caught up in a bomb blast that leaves several people dead, and many horribly injured. Jane is a key witness, but is adamant that she can't identify the bomber. When a photograph appears in the newspapers, showing Jane assisting the injured at the scene, it puts her and her family at risk from IRA retaliation.

'Good Friday' is the eagerly awaited date of the annual formal CID dinner, due to take place at St Ermin's Hotel. Hundreds of detectives and their wives will be there. It's the perfect target. As Jane arrives for the evening, she realises that she recognises the parking attendant as the bomber from Covent Garden. Can she convince her senior officers in time, or will another bomb destroy London's entire detective force?

My Thoughts

3rd book in the Tennison series and another great read. I have been really enjoying this series and starting from book 1 again. 

I really liked the character development of Jane and we follow her through her ranks of her profession. Now that she is a detective her role within the force does change. And with any change comes its own challenges. But also in her personal life moving into a new place and meeting new people. 

Following a bomb attack, Jane finds herself well and truly in the middle of the investigation and this time time risking alot more. Alongside being a detective she finds her self surviving the bomb attack and also becoming a key witness to the days events. 

As always the author did a fab job with the descriptive writing and everything become so visual for me (although some scenes you would prefer not to) but all in all another fantastic book. Another well paced booked that I found the plot easy to follow albiet a few sneaky bits of information.
