Reviews
'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.’
–Jane Cornwell, The Pink Paper, UK
‘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.’
–Carmel Shute, Sisters in Crime
‘A rich and robust satire of feminist politics combined with a murder mystery.’
–Anne Coombs, The Australian
