Talking to the Dead by Harry Bingham

5.0

Fiona Griffiths is a Detective Constable in Cardiff, Wales. Her squad has just landed a new case, a prostitute and her young daughter were murdered. Found at the scene is an expired platinum credit card belonging to a wealthy man who was presumed killed in a plane crash months before. Fiona is assigned the task of discovering how the card ended up in a squalid house with two dead bodies. Fiona is an intriguing protagonist. Since the whole Girl with a Dragon Tattoo phenom every other mystery has proclaimed itself the next Girl with... In this case I think the comparison works. Fiona has something in her that keeps her at odds with the other "normal" people she works with and I was intrigued by just what made her tick. The mystery was great as well.
