A massive rainfall has resulted in the bones of a young girl who had
disappeared several years ago being washed clear of her burial site.
Simon Serrailler is on his way to tell the father of the missing girl
that her remains have been found when he is called back to where she had
been found. Another grave has been found nearby. In it is the body of
another woman.
Simon Serrailler will have to work both cases, which could be related,
or separate cases on his own as the powers that be have declared that
they will not be hiring a new DCI due to budget constraints.
Fortunately, the pathologist, Gordon Lyman, has a friend who is able to
generate a computer model of what the second woman might have looked
like. Will it be enough to identify her?
Serrailler has two cold cases on his hands, but he is relentless.
Author Susan Hill’s murder mystery has three other threads going on
throughout, and the reader wonders what connection they have to the
story, however she binds those threads neatly together leading to a
surprising conclusion. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
