After the wettest summer for a hundred years we'll all be familiar with what happened in Lafferton. Heavy rain caused a landslip on the moors, blocking the nearby road. Thankfully, what we're not familiar with was the presence of a shallow grave and the skeleton of a teenage girl. The sharp eyes of one of the forensic team spotted that something wasn't quite right in another area - and a second grave was revealed. It was easy to identify the first body - the young girl had gone missing from the town sixteen years before, - but the second body proved more difficult. And, in a time of financial cuts and staff shortages it's down to Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler to tackle the cold case on his own with just a little help on the new murder case.
When I want a book to relax with it's inevitably a police procedural that comes to hand, but until recently I'd not really noticed Susan Hill's Simon Serrailler series and it was only when I read [[In the Springtime of the Year by Susan Hill|In the Springtime of the Year]] that I realised her writing was of such quality that I realised that it would be worth reading ''anything'' which she wrote, even if it was only a shopping list. But, I was coming in a number seven in an established series. How would I cope?
