The Dead House (Fiona Griffiths Crime Thriller Series)
Midnight in a country churchyard. A corpse lying at peace. The dead woman looks totally peaceful and there are no marks of violence.. But why is she here, in this remote spot? Why does no one come forward to identify her? And why is she wearing a thin white dress on this howling October night? When Fiona Griffiths starts to investigate, she finds a crime creepier than anything she's been able to imagine. And she's about to become the very next victim. This international smash hit murder mystery series is ideal for fans of Stieg Larsson, Gillian Flynn, Tana French ... and for anyone at all who loves their crime noir and their female protagonists strong, brave and smart.What people are saying about British detective Fiona Griffiths and her crime thriller series "Exceptional . . . Absorbing . . . Fiona's narrative sears the pages."—Kirkus Reviews "The most gripping crime novel I have read, maybe ever. DON'T read The Strange Death if you have a weak heart, unless you are bent on suicide by thriller."—Peter J Earle “Gritty, compelling . . . a [police] procedural unlike any other you are likely to read this year.â€â€”USA Today “With Detective Constable Fiona ‘Fi’ Griffiths, Harry Bingham . . . finds a sweet spot in crime fiction . . . think Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander . . . Denise Mina’s ‘Paddy’ Meehan [or] Lee Child’s Jack Reacher . . . The writing is terrific.â€â€”Boston Globe "Fiona Griffiths may be the most fascinating protagonist in fiction. She is similar to Lisbeth Salander, an intelligent but profoundly damaged young woman, but Fiona is less hostile and more curious, sort of a good guy sociopath. I couldn't put it down. This is definitely one of my very favorite thriller series. I love this character and I hope I have the chance to read many more. Harry Bingham is a genius and one hell of a writer."—Audrey, Top 500 Reviewer “A stunner with precision plotting, an unusual setting, and a deeply complex protagonist . . . We have the welcome promise of more books to come.â€â€”The Seattle Times “A dark delight, and I look forward to Fiona’s future struggles with criminals, her demons and the mysteries of her past.â€â€”Washington Post "The easiest five stars I've ever awarded a book. Fiona Griffiths is by far the most original fictional detective I’ve come across . . . [the book] made me feel breathless with worry, concern and eventually fear for Fiona."—Loretta Milan “An even more intense plot and richer character study than his first . . . Fiona’s past mental problems and her unconventional personality make her a distinctive lead.â€â€”Publishers Weekly, (starred review) “Some of the most memorably staccato narration in the genre . . . [Bingham’s] remote, unquenchable heroine makes her stand apart from every one of her procedural brothers and sisters.â€â€”Kirkus Reviews “Compelling . . . a new crime talent to treasure."—Daily Mail (London)
