A striking debut, filled with folkloric mystery and yearning. Griffiths’ prose is as elegant as it is perceptive. Read it, then read it again.

Greater Sins is a glimmering debut. A muddy, pastoral fable written with an equal measure of beauty and morbidity. Completely enthralling.

Greater Sins has an extraordinary sense of place and time, written by an exciting new voice from Scotland.

I absolutely raced through it! What a beautiful book. The prose is so lyrical and the structure so cleverly pulls the reader along

GREATER SINS is a haunting and extraordinary debut, which will stay with me for a long time. Set during World War One and told in tender, sinuous prose, this is a simmering tale of outcasts and buried secrets, love and redemption. An incisive look at power and gender, Griffiths explores not just the darker impulses we share, but how we can find connection in unexpected places. This novel had me feeling silt between my toes and looking for ghosts in every shadow.

Dripping with atmosphere, GREATER SINS is a hauntingly beautiful story, set in an isolated community. The writing is stunning; every phrase, every sentence is like poetry. And the characters – they’re complex, fascinating, and oh so relatable. A truly unforgettable read.

Beguiling and elegiac, Greater Sins unravels a tale of mystery and longing in captivating, unfurling prose that completely absorbs you. A book to sink into.

This atmospheric novel set in the early 20th century in the Cabrach, an isolated community in the north east of Scotland, is beautifully written. As the mystery of a woman’s body found preserved in the peat bog unravels, we follow a darkly lyrical tale packed with secrets, intertwined relationships and a smattering of folklore. The characters are so richly woven, and the harsh rural world they inhabit so compelling, I could almost feel the chill, and taste the drams.
