The start is quite creepy and promises an exciting historical thriller. The book somehow wasn't up to the beginning even if I enjoyed.
I was glad to catch up with Johnstone&Hitchens, as interesting as usual, and loved the well written characters, especially the women who are quite out of the norm.
I wasn't a fan of the part by different POV as they made the plot less gripping.
It's an entertaining book that can be read as a standalone.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

January 1930 Early in the morning a man dumps the body of Faun Moran on Bournemouth beach in front of witnesses. But she was supposedly killed the previous Autumn in a car accident. DCI Henry Johnstone and DS Mickey Hitchens investigate both cases.
An entertaining and well-written historical mystery, a well plotted story with likable and intelligent main characters. Another good addition to the series which can easily be read as a standalone story.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
