Figments of a Murder
Gillian Hanscombe

The Australian, Best Books of the Year, 1995

First there was the detective novel with its stubble-chinned PI. Then came the feminist super-sleuths. Feisty, fierce and real. Now there’s Figments of a Murder. And Babes. Babes is about lust. Babes is about power. But what else is she up to? In her world women are torn asunder by love and lust, by murder and menace. Babes says she calls the shots. But does she?

'Figments of a Murder, bar the ventriloquist’s dummy, doesn’t stray too far from the truth. Even lesbian feminists go in for the kill sometimes.’ 

Source: The Pink Paper, UK
Reviewer: Jane Cornwell

‘It makes for an intense and passionate read. Being a novel about lesbian desire, it also contains some great, if not quite fully consummated sex. Gillian Hanscombe is a unique new talent in feminist crime writing and Spinifex should be congratulated for publishing this path-breaking book.’ 

Source: Sisters in Crime
Reviewer: Carmel Shute

‘A rich and robust satire of feminist politics combined with a murder mystery.’
