Our reviews of Frances Fyfield's work

The takes

What we have said about Frances Fyfield

  • Frances Fyfield's 1998 standalone. A traumatized woman ex-cop and the killer who took her sister. One of the British psychological-thriller form's genuine peaks.

  • A Helen West mystery. Frances Fyfield writing British legal procedural with the moral seriousness the form rarely delivers.

  • Another Helen West novel. Frances Fyfield writing a serial-rapist prosecution that the Crown Prosecution Service is reluctant to pursue.

  • A Frances Fyfield standalone. A young woman returning to her dementia-affected mother's seaside house and the secrets neither of them can quite name.

  • A Frances Fyfield Helen West novel. A dental practice, a contested inheritance, and Fyfield writing the kind of carefully observed institutional novel the procedural form rarely allows.

  • A Frances Fyfield 1999 standalone. A young woman returns to the English coastal town of her summer-camp childhood. An old murder is back.
