The Strange Death of Fiona Griffiths is a book I have read before.
Writing my own thriller, it helps with writing in first person perspective.
It is a great book, where the character Fiona Grey, Fiona Griffiths and Jessica are one mix of emotions. Her character, as an undercover police officer, portrays a realism all three personas take on really well.
Fiona Grey is a police officer, fresh out of undercover training. So impressed with her actions during her first undercover assignment, they asked her to do the real thing straight after. Cleaners, minimum wage earners are rarely seen, and she is noticed by a criminal gang, who want to steal billions of pounds using the payroll system.
In some ways, she enjoys her other identity, perhaps because she is able to find more of herself than in real life. There is a realism in her character, which makes the book all the more enjoyable to read.
I found this book on a second-hand stall, but I want to read the next book ”The Thing of Darkness” giving Fiona Griffiths a chance to return. When I get paid, I think I will treat myself to a new book to read.
I don’t know this writer, but it seems an exciting premise. At the moment, I’m reading a recent Val McDermid thriller.

I only found this author because the front cover looked interesting. I would be interested to read the next book in the series. I’ve not heard of Val McDermid, what is the thriller about?

Probably best known for her psychological crime thrillers like Wire in the Blood, Val also does police procedurals and other sub genres. I’m posting a review of her latest today.

I like wire in the blood, think I watched it rather than read it though.
