As Elly Griffiths dives into the series past, the reader will need to be familiar with both the characters and their interactions to grasp the full story. This is what I would call a “remember when” type of book. One designed to reminisce past storylines or parts that had been left dangling or unfinished. Or even as a refresher for things to come.

After receiving a note that has led to a newly found body, the usual characters are reminded of a time when their lives were set on a collision course. This book brings back old memories and relationships which cause DCI Harry Nelson to tackle a long-hidden secret much to the detriment of his overly emotional daughter.

As cases are sorted and another child goes missing, Harry and Ruth need to sort out their relationship and where their daughter fits within Harry's home. There are any number of triangle relationships in this book and the reader, if not familiar with the past, will be hard-pressed to keep everyone and everything straight.
