Dead House - Haunted House Decorations for Halloween, Spooky Home & Yard Props for Scary Parties, Horror Movie Nights & Themed Events

Fiona Griffiths is one of my favourite fictional detectives. Her unusual psychological condition that makes it difficult for her to know what she is feeling and to engage with people in a 'normal' way, makes her such an interesting character. She has a way of seeing things that others don't and looking at things from a different perspective that helps her quick and intelligent mind fit together the pieces of a puzzle way before anyone else.For the last year Fiona has been working on a major investigation into an international ring of criminals that has stalled and is likely to be put on hold, so when the chance to investigate an unusual death appears, she is keen to take the case. The body of a young woman has been found in a building next to a church, originally used for laying out dead bodies. Dressed in white and surrounded by candles there isn't a mark on her but Fiona is determined to find out who she is and how she got there. Set mostly in the beautiful and rugged Brecon Beacon hills of Wales in early winter, Fiona will spend a lot of her time getting cold and dirty. The case will lead Fiona to look at the disappearance of another young women some years before and to uncover a bizarre crime.As always, Harry Bingham's writing is smart and insightful and infused with wry humour. Fiona's thoughts that she knows are best kept to herself are often hilarious. As a character she has grown over the course of the series, she has a handful of people she can now count as friends and is getting better at interacting with others and even goes out of her way to help a depressed farmer. She still has a tendency to follow her own lead without talking to her seniors (especially when she knows they would refuse her proposals) and puts herself into danger, but as her exploits most often lead to breakthroughs she usually gets away with it.Another great episode in this excellent series, which should be started at the beginning to fully understand Fiona's background and character.
