Lädt ... This Thing of Darkness (2015)von Harry Bingham
   Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  pgchuis | Nov 6, 2023 |   Fiona has a unique ability that allows her to see connections that others miss. She throws herself into her work and is only being held back by an assignment as a temporary exhibits officer. This desk job causes her no end of bother, she wants to be out doing the detecting not stuck in a basement recording and filing the evidence. Luckily, her bosses give her an opportunity to continue on with her investigations. This was an interesting and complex story. We are following several inter-linking plots and as the author develops Fiona we continue to learn about Fiona’s personal life, her adoption, her medical condition and her criminal father. It seems obvious that eventually all the evidence will point to her father, and that a major showdown will result. I have enjoyed all of these books and look forward to continuing on with this compelling and entertaining series. (  ) DeltaQueen50 | Nov 27, 2021 | About one third of the way through this book I thought HB doesn't do a good job with Fi when she is casting about for clues and inspiration - in other words her normal phase. Then things accelerated and I thought HB does a MARVELOUS job of portraying crazy. He gets the dissociative states exactly right and the duplicitous viewing of self as well as the uncertainty about reality: Nuanced, well-drawn, unbelievably good. Then I realized how balanced a writer you are. You draw Fi so well, and all the characters, really, that the boredom and edginess I feel when I read the normal bits are exactly what Fi is feeling. These stories are so well written and so good, I am in awe of your talent. Bravo! (  ) Omegawega | Mar 31, 2018 |  ) ffortsa | Sep 23, 2017 | I love Fiona Griffiths. She’s resilient and persistent, and she has the strength and courage to do what’s right. This was a nail-biter of a book that I devoured in a single day, unwilling to leave Fiona behind for even a moment. My favourite part was the scene on board the ship: this scene was the one that Bingham started off with, as he explains in his afterword, and it is a great sequence. This series keeps getting better and better, and I definitely recommend it to all and sundry. A note: This book may be tough to read if you are uncomfortable with scenes of torture.

A hanged man. A stolen painting. An impossible crime. A marine engineer is found hanged in a locked apartment. Some artwork is stolen, then mysteriously returned. And a security guard is found dead at the base of a Welsh cliff. When Fiona Griffiths is tasked to look through a stackload of cold cases, her bosses don't expect her to find anything of interest. But then she discovers that an impossible robbery really happened. That the supposed suicide was anything but. That the dead security guard was almost certainly murdered. Before long, Fiona is embroiled in what will become the most terrifying case of her career so far - one that forces her to enter the heart of darkness, and a journey that will test her mental toughness to its very limits.

This one was a bit of a stretch, even for this series. I skipped over the Fi survives torture bit, but then there was the Fi singlehandedly saves the day by posing as a ship's cook and scuppers a trawler bit. I am finding the overarching case increasingly hard to remember as elements of each book are incorporated.
Still, reliable entertainment. (
