Talking to the Dead by Harry Bingham

3.0

3.5 stars really. I did actually love this read about oddball South Wales female detective, Fiona Griffiths. Whilst I think much of crime fiction suspends reality to a degree, this went way beyond and I struggled to believe that such a loose canon of a cop, without firearms authorisation, went off the radar, carried and discharged a gun and was later "protected" by her senior officer.
Novel is written in the first person in an almost passive voice. I hugely enjoyed her stream of consciousness.
Straight onto Fiona Griffiths #2 to see if a touch more reality is injected now we have our protagonist introduced.
