Past Lying

It's lockdown in the UK, which means everyone has plenty of time on their hands. For DCI Karen Pirie that is until one of her colleagues is contacted by a member of a local library.

The library has received an author's manuscript to their archives that seems to bear a lot of similarities to a past cold case of a young woman who was never found.

Pirie's team receive copies and while it appears to be the key to unlocking what happened to Lara Hardie, the author died before finishing it, so the narrative and potentially the final clues run out.

It takes a little while to get used to reading a story within a story, but it does make sense!
