About this audiobook
The Tower, previously published as Post Mortem, is a major ITV drama. An intricate, gritty and believable crime novel from an ex-detective with the Met's murder squad.
She could not escape the horror of it: falling unstoppably, irretrievably until the hard concrete reaches up. That last glimpse of them at the edge.
A long-serving beat cop in the Met and a teenage girl fall to their deaths from a tower block in London's East End. Left alive on the roof are a five-year-old boy and rookie police officer, Lizzie Griffiths.
Within hours, Griffiths has disappeared, and DS Sarah Collins sets out to uncover the truth around the grisly deaths, in an investigation which takes her into the dark heart of policing in London.
An absorbing debut... The author vividly re-creates the everyday experience of uniformed police... The result is a complex novel that offers rare insights into how the police operate. ? Sunday Times
Knowledgeable, thoughtful, sensitive and well written... The changing priorities of policing and the evolving prejudices of society in general are ever-present undercurrents in this excellent and thought-provoking novel. ? Literary Review

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this book, but there was a lot of detail of how exactly police work is done. That and the frequent flashbacks slowed things down. The ending was full of moral ambiguity, which disappointed me. I wanted Lizzie to stop letting the men around her direct her actions and team up with Sarah. The characterization was a little shallow - both Steve and Sarah were shadowy, and I found Lizzie frustrating. Hadley was perhaps the best-rounded character, but he won't be returning in the next book!
