Move over Jane Tennison: Lynda La Plante has a new detective in town
The Queen of Crime has created another compelling heroine in Detective Jessica Russell, whose tightly-knit investigative team soon discover that their first case is not what it seems A century ago, in the early 1920s, English mystery writer Agatha Christie was dubbed the 'Queen of Crime'. That crown has now been transferred seamlessly to Lynda La Plante, and what has earned her accession to this regal sobriquet is the gritty realism of her novels and the compelling characters she creates. Lynda is a former actress who trained at Rada in London and had a relatively low-key but successful career, both on the stage and in various TV series, including Z-Cars and The Sweeney. She took up writing in the 1980s and found her first major success in 1983 with her television script Widows, a gritty crime drama about the wives of armed robbers who continue their husbands' criminal plan after their fiery deaths during a botched heist. The series was praised for its originality and strong female characters, establishing her as a powerful voice in British crime writing.

We live in UK's ‘most beautiful village' ruined by tourists filming us through our WINDOWS & flying drones over gardens
LOCALS in a picturesque village say their town is being ruined by tourists who knock on their doors and take snaps of them inside their homes. Castle Combe in Wiltshire has been used as a backdrop for Hollywood blockbusters such as Stardust and Steven Spielberg's War Horse and is a delightful day trip for sightseers. 5 Castle Combe in Wiltshire has become a hub for tourists from around the world Credit: Alamy 5 Locals have fumed that the chocolate box village has turned into the 'set of Disneyland' Credit: Alamy 5 A picturesque view of cottages with Cotswold stone walls in Castle Combe Credit: Getty Set within the Cotswolds, Castle Combe is routinely named as one of the prettiest villages in the country. Country Living listed the English village as one of the most picturesque places to visit in the country, writing: "This quintessentially English village is known as the 'prettiest village in England'. But residents in Castle Combe in the Cotswolds say their patience is running thin as visitors from around the world continue to disturb their peace. Around 400 people call the chocolate box village home, while 150,000 tourists pack into the idyllic area annually. Speaking to the Express, Hilary Baker, 69, a former police officer and bed and breakfast owner, urged visitors: "Give us a little bit of consideration." She added that drones have even been flown over the village, "filming children", but pointed out that this has been less of an issue recently. Ms Baker said: "That's what caused everybody to go, 'This is now beyond reasonable.' "Because our children are precious, you don't know who's on the other end of the camera. "I'm not casting aspersions, but you just don't know anymore. "It's out there in the ether before you can blink an eye." Our posh village is now ghost town strewn with empty homes Local Hilary, who has lived in the village for nearly four decades, was equally condemning of the behaviour of some visitors. She fumed: "If only they would stop and think, 'How would I feel sat in my garden minding own business with a drone flying 20 feet above my head?' "It could be four or five. I don't think they would cope with it either." "I was walking the dog and talking to one of my neighbours, when I saw this lady looking through my letterbox. "I said, 'Are looking for somebody? Can I help you?' They said, 'I'm just looking.' "I replied, 'People live here.' They said, 'Oh, do they?'" Another problem, the resident noted, is younger people using "suction cups" to attach their phones to his windows in order for them to take a photo of themselves. "They think it's part of the set of Disneyland," one anonymous local seethed. Jean Boucher, 86, a retired teacher, says she does not have much trouble with visitors, as her house is raised above the main street. But she added: "The whole world is full of tourists being a nuisance. "There are more people travelling, I suppose, and people are obsessed with photographing everything now." The Sun Online has reached out to Wiltshire Council for comment. 5 A woman poses for a photo in the village Credit: Alamy
