'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.’ 

‘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.’ 

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