Talking to the Dead by Harry Bingham

4.0

This could so easily have been a standard maverick cop story, but it's a very unusual take on that sub-genre. the setting, of post-industrial South Wales, is one aspect of that, as is the choice of junior police officer Fiona Griffiths as the heroine. She is an unusual character, with a dark secret. The plot was functional, though depending on some improbabilities. The hints at unfinished business set up the series, which is now well established.
