Book Review of Talking to the Dead (Fiona Griffiths, Bk 1)

Another new author for me ... another author I know I will keep reading.

Talking to the Dead is all about introducing Detective Constable Fiona Griffiths who is a mystery herself. Fiona is known for her spurts of genius ... and for her need at times to not follow the rules. She is definitely a young woman of contrasts.

She is working her first case ... a prostitute and her young daughter are murdered. Found under the bodies is a credit card belonging to a man who died a year ago.

The book is full of action ... murders, secrets, lies. Has a bit of everything from drug dealers to human trafficking.

I enjoyed the book as it kept me interested, but its the last chapter that riveted me. No spoilers... but it did answer the burning question of who is Fiona Griffiths and what makes her the way she is.

I will definitely be reading the next in the series ... I need to know how her life will proceed from here.
