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?

Usual ignorant bosses and baddies in authoritarian positions but a good plot and worthy procedures. Would listen to another in the series.

Nick Louth’s books are always good, but this is next level! The plot keeps you guessing and is definitely one out of the box!

Great twister!

Easy listening and intriguing, the story finishes quickly with a long winded confession, rather than police interrogation.

A good story, well read.

This was a great book, it has me guessing all the way through, lots of plot twists and didn't give much away all the way to the end.
