Lynda La Plante's 6 best books

Lynda La Plante is an English author, screenwriter and former actress, best known for writing the Prime Suspect television crime series.

One of her six best books, as told to the Daily Express:
FAREWELL, MY LOVELY by Raymond Chandler

Chandler’s novels are worthy of endless reading. I am obsessed with his brilliance. He was a master at creating stunning characters who he’d describe perfectly in a few lines. His terrific humour is evident in his writing and this book makes me laugh out loud.
Read about another book on the list.

Farewell, My Lovely is one of Dennis McDougal's five top books on Southern California; it features one of the fifty greatest villains in literature.
