Summary

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

Loved it.

An absolute joy to spend hours on Lynda's company. I have been a huge fan of her work since the 80s.
