Fiona Griffith series set in Wales written by Harry Bingham – she has personality disorder. Cracking books.
I had forgotten about this character
@Jason The series is almost as much thriller as crime, and excellently researched – plus the Welsh setting is very well depicted. Quite bonkers, mind, like Fiona herself, but very readable. Fiona has some condition whereby she can’t quite believe she’s alive – i forget the medical name for it.
The lead character in my thriller After The Interview (written as AA Abbott) is on the autistic spectrum. Note – I hesitate to self-promote, but I see from this thread that we’re allowed to do it just this once…
Robert Galbraith – Cormorant Strike series.
@Mike, Tilly, in the Poe books.
