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.

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
