The Strange Death of Fiona Griffiths

LOVE STORY, WITH MURDERS boasts what must be the most startling protagonist in modern crime fiction ... Brutal, freakish and totally original - SUNDAY TIMES

Expertly crafted - THE TIMES

With Detective Constable Fiona "Fi" Griffiths, Harry Bingham finds a sweet spot in crime fiction - a female protagonist with stunted emotions, a passion for protecting women (think Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander), outsider status (think Denise Mina's "Paddy" Meehan), sheer guts, and an unstoppable drive to follow her own instincts even when it means breaking every rule in the book (think Lee Childs's Jack Reacher) - BOSTON GLOBE

This compelling crime novel ... amply proves the freshness and flair that he [Bingham] has brought to the police procedural. Written with unexpected warmth and wry observation, it brings its gruesome story to life without turning the stomach ... Surprisingly delicate, it weaves a sinuous, seductive spell and confirms we have a new crime talent to treasure - DAILY MAIL

Bingham has gotten inside the mind of his clever, neurotic heroine so well as to make her seem entirely credible ... An interesting, unusual and in some ways even moving crime novel - LITERARY REVIEW

This cleverly plotted police procedural introduces a likeable, maverick detective destined for a bestseller following - CHOICE

DC Fiona Griffiths is ditsy, funny, stubborn and sharp ... Bingham provides a spirited Welsh response to the Scottish domination of British crime fiction - THE TIMES
