The Two Deaths of Ruth Lyle in Bloomington, MN

She must solve the ultimate riddle...
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. Documents found at her house indicate her name is
Ruth Lyle
. The name means nothing to the young PC who found her, but DI Talantire knows that this cannot be true.
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 woman, and yet all the records are a match.
With a brutal killer at large, DI Talantire must work quickly to solve the most complicated case of her career: how can a woman die twice?
A twisty and unputdownable crime thriller. Perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths and Kate Ellis.
