The hilarious and moving tell-all memoir from the UK's queen of crime drama.

This edition includes content exclusive to the audiobook: alongside Lynda, you will hear from close friends, family and stars she's worked with during her long career, including Dame Helen Mirren, Simon Callow, Victoria Smurfit, Ann Mitchell, Dawn French, Carol Cleveland and Gill Titchmarsh.

Lynda La Plante has lived an illustrious life and has the stories to prove it.

From her early days in Liverpool to her unexpected acceptance into RADA, joining peers Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt and Ian McShane; from beginning her scriptwriting career with Widows and Prime Suspect and becoming a BAFTA award-winning writer and producer, Lynda's tales of stage and screen will have you gasping in shock as well as laughing in the aisles.

Lynda has an important story to tell, one of breaking down stereotypes and blazing a trail for others along the way. Starting her writing career in the eighties, an era of entrenched gender inequality both in front of and behind the camera, Lynda faced innumerable obstacles to her vision.

Getting Away with Murder shows how she overcame them to create generation-defining television and become a multi-million-copy Sunday Times bestselling author. Still at the very top of her game, Lynda shares her story on her own terms, in a way that's guaranteed to make you laugh, cry and be inspired to live a life without limits.

'Screamingly funny and deliciously candid, full of wisdom and joie de vivre, this is memoir with the grip of a thriller' ERIN KELLY©2024 Lynda La Plante (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK

I adored this audio book as much as I adore Lynda!

At times hysterical (I replayed the bit about Freddie Starr repeatedly as Lydia expertly told the tale and made me howl) to poignant moments when talking about her desire to be a mother and life's hard knocks.

A fabulous book and a real treat for it to be read by the lady herself.

As the Lynda herself said: "You can take the girl out of Liverpool but not Liverpool out of the girl".

Absolutely excellent, the best audio book I've listened to, ever!

Key takeaways from this book (and great advice) is you might be down, but you're never out so get up and keep going. And the best revenge is success.

Thank you so much for sharing your story Lynda. Hope you read this and know there's much love for you from your readers.

Love from one Liverpool gal to another xx
