About this listen
For rookie detective constable Fiona Griffiths, her first major investigation promises to be a tough initiation. A young woman and her six-year-old daughter have been found brutally murdered in a squalid flat, the single clue a platinum credit card belonging to a millionaire businessman who died in a plane crash six months before. For her fellow cops, it's just another case of a low-rent prostitute meeting the wrong kind of client and coming to a nasty end, but Fiona is convinced that the tragic lives and cruel deaths of this mother and daughter are part of a deeper, darker mystery.
Fiona, however, has secrets of her own. She is still recovering from a crushing psychological breakdown, and the feelings that haunt her are constantly threatening to undermine the mask of normality she has learned to wear. As she begins to piece together a bizarre and terrifying conspiracy, Fiona finds that what makes her vulnerable also gives her a unique insight into the secrets of the dead, and in solving the murders she can begin to start solving the riddles of her own past.

Loved it!!!
The main things I loved were;
That a male author was able to capture so successfully the thoughts and feelings of his character.
The stamina to stay in ‘i’ mode all the way through
The craziness, not too much but enough to make it real
Picking the right narrator.
Brilliant!!
On to the next story now. I can’t wait.

Talking to the Dead
Great story but really found some scenes with Fiona too strange. I didn't enjoy the book entirely.

This!
This is great writing and great narration. I’m so happy to have discovered this author and this series, hoping the quality of this first book continues. I really enjoyed the story and the main character is so much more “sculptured” than you might be used to, and it’s fabulous.
