The Third entry in the Lake District series. The book is set in England’s Lake District, and centres around DCI Hannah Scarlett’s Cold Case unit. A 10-year-old Missing Person case has come to the forefront when a local journalist begins pushing for a resolution to the old case of a missing local woman. The case begins to get complicated when another body is discovered that had been buried for about 50 years and found close to the area where Hannah is searching for Emma Bestwick. When a more recent death occurs on a lonely beach, Hannah realizes that there is far more to this old case than was thought. Hannah is made aware that local people will go a long way to keep their secrets safe. The final twist to the story was enough to surprise me. This is the third entry in this mystery series, and one that has caught my interest again. I read the other books quite some time ago, but am now going to continue on again with this captivating series.
