This book goes back and forth between the past and the present. In the past, November 1980, Nick Hornsby is wondering about the death of Alice Poole. Her body has been found in the park and people are wondering if she was murdered by Yorkshire Murderer. In 2019, a skeleton is discovered at an archeological dig near Eastvale, so DCI Alan Banks is called to investigate. They ascertain that the body was buried between 2009 and 2016. This was an interesting book that had both murders coming together in the end. There's a lot of twists that happen in the book that keeps the plot moving along. If you like police procedurals with two connecting plots from the past to the present then you would love this book. I would like to thank NetGalley and William Morrow for a copy for an honest review. I'm so sad to report that this may be the last book in the series as Peter Robinson has died recently.
