The betrayal of trust / Susan Hill

A torrential rainstorm the likes of Lafferton has rarely seen unearthed two bodies in the subsequent flooding.  Detective Simon Serrailler immediately recognized the remains of the missing Harriet Lowther, a 16-year old cold case.  The second was of another young woman, a foreigner who no one had reported missing.  Interwoven through the story of how Det. Serrailler discovers the connection between the two deaths is a parallel story of a newcomer to the community who plans a chilling alternative to end of life care.  It takes a while for the stories to connect, but they do finally. Enjoyed the story; I'll read the author again.
