Summary
Fifty years. Two deaths. One detective to solve an impossible case...
DI Jan Talantire is called to a cottage in Ilfracombe, where the female occupant is found dead, impaled with a crucifix. The woman, who had been renting the house for a few months, is well known locally, but the documents at the house indicate her real name is Ruth Lyle. The name means nothing to the young PC who found her, DI Talantire knows this cannot be the body of Ruth Lyle.
Because fifty years earlier, sixteen-year-old Ruth Lyle was murdered—stabbed by a crucifix, in exactly the same location. It is impossible for this to be the same Ruth Lyle, and yet the records are a match. DI Talantire must solve the ultimate riddle: how can a woman die twice?
A twisty and binge-worthy crime thriller. Perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths and Kate Ellis.

This was Excellent! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I do love all the layers and red herrings that are in a Nick Louth book! Such an intriguing premise to this book, and introducing us to a new CID team, in a new location.
I loved it, and hope that this is the start of a compelling new series. A new narrator to me, but she did an excellent job, and clearly has a great talent for different accents.

Less would be better
An excellent plot. some lovely asides but somewhere it went off track too often or things explained with more words than needed. I would have enjoyed it more if it had been at least 1hr less

In two minds
I listened to it.
I found the plot weak, the depiction of the local police as misogynistic and racist annoying and the lead detective rather ineffective.
Obviously living in Devon that might have had something to do with it, like most stories there seems to always be an element that fights between the depiction of a lot of green fields and tourists and a dark sinister side that underlines this county.
This didn't quite achieve it

Rambling
The premise of this novel sounded intriguing. However a combination of mediocre narration and an unnecessarily rambling plot made this hard to finish (although I’d highly recommend if you have insomnia). Not terrible but it has scope to be so much better.
