Product Description

When DC Fiona Griffiths says 'yes' to her policeman boyfriend, it's an affirmation that she wants finally to put her psychological breakdown behind her, and become a resident of 'Planet Normal' like everybody else. But she still can't resist the challenge of an undercover policing course, and finding it remarkably easy to assume a new identity, she comes top of the class. So when an ingenious payroll fraud starts to look like the tip of a huge criminal iceberg, Fiona is selected to infiltrate the fraudsters' operation.

Posing as a meek former payroll clerk now forced to work as a cleaner, Fiona Griffiths becomes Fiona Grey, hoping the criminals will try and recruit her - knowing that if they discover her real identity, she's dead meat. But as Fiona penetrates deeper into their operation, coming closer to identifying the mastermind behind it, she faces another, even more frightening danger - that her always fragile grip on her sense of self has now been lost and she may never find her way back. Read by Siriol Jenkins.

This is the third book in the DC Fiona Griffiths series and it's the best yet. Fiona goes under cover as Fiona Gray and she is so convincing she starts to lose connection with her real persona. The Stieg Larsson Dragon trilogy introduced us to a vulnerable yet feisty heroine. Fiona Griffiths fits that description. She is spectacularly vulnerable and at the same time intelligent, resourceful and endearingly brave. Fiona loses her sense of self but gains something that might well end up strengthening her tenuous grip of planet normal. I recommend this book highly. I love the immediacy of the writing. There is not a single word wasted and every page steadily contributes to a very satisfying read. It will be a long wait until book 4.

5.0 out of 5 stars Progress all round 2 April 2014
By Michael Watson TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine Review (What's this?)
In my review of the previous Fiona Griffiths novel, Love Story, With Murders, I noted that it would be good to see how this character develops.

And so we have book 3 which is better than book 2 for which I also gave 5 stars. FG in this story goes undercover and becomes Fiona Grey which just about sums up her place in the system. A superstore has a payroll mystery, money paid to invisible people, so FG is sent in to see if there are any clues as to who is doing this.

From this point, we have a deep and sometimes dark police procedural but based mainly on the activities of FG.

In this book, she is much harder, even more determined to see the job through and even more beholden to her almost schizophrenic self. It is this illness which determines, more or less, how she plays out her undercover role.

The payroll theft is just the start; one store becomes many leading up to a mega heist of such complexity to the layman but so easy to an expert in IT Payroll that you have to keep reading to see how it is made to work.

FG is still chasing her birth parents, still much adored by her adoptive parents but for this book, there is little time to progress. We know, of course, that sooner or later this will feature more to the fore and we know , thanks to this book, that an individual such as FG will not leave any stone unturned to achieve closure.

It's a good read, for sure. FG moves almost seamlessly into her second life, becoming involved with the main criminal, still finding time to become engaged to 'Buzz', her policeforce lover, keeping one step ahead of a paranoid security check almost daily. We know that she will have to face these contradictions at some point, so when the finale does arrive, the outcome is fairly certain.

One of the most interesting characters in Detective fiction. I am sure she will get "them" in the end. The series gets better and better

5.0 out of 5 stars How does he do it? 29 Mar 2014
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
How does a male writer, Harry Bingham, create such a 3-dimensional female character? Fiona Griffiths is totally plausible - a screwed-up, young, policewoman. It's a pleasure to meet her again, on her third outing.
The criminal plot, finely crafted and credible, is a definite second place to the development of Fiona's character. A wonderful read, as much for the South Welsh details as for the workings of Fiona's mind.
The author has a superb turn of phrase, and eye for detail.
I would strongly recommend reading the first two FG novels, in the right order, in order to get the most satisfaction from this book.

This is a crime novel with a compelling central character. His books have great plots with a modern sensibility. I highly recommend them.
