Synopsis
Forty years ago Magdalene Lynton drowned in a slurry. She choked to death as her hands scrabbled for purchase on the smooth concrete walls. A farmhand discovered her bloated body three days later.
Or she didn't.
Paul Worthington just confessed to her murder.
Forty years ago Magdalene Lynton died in a dirty shed. He smothered her life along with her cries for help and tossed her defiled corpse into a river when he was done.
Or he didn't.
As Detective Ngaire Blakes investigates the death, she discovers clues that won't piece together with either version. Gaps, inconsistencies, lies. And forty years have eroded more than memories.
Is it possible to uncover the third death of Magdalene Lynton when time has eaten away at the evidence? And will the person responsible let Ngaire live long enough to try?
Or she didn't.

L'intrigue est bien menée, avec un parfait équilibre entre action, révélation d'éléments nouveaux, récits du passé, interrogatoires… Il y a une réelle progression dans l'enquête. Le tout servi par une excellente écriture. Un bon polar en V.O. qui sort des sentiers battus.
