When a body is discovered by fishermen in their nets, solving the crime appears to be a normal police investigation until the connections to the deceased are made to two men who disappeared ten years previously. The investigation uncovers crimes relating to fraud and forgery as well as murder.
In the second case, Karen is asked to investigate when the sister of a woman killed in an accident finds a campervan containing a skeleton in the garage when she is sorting her sister's possessions. Who is the body and how did she end up in the garage?
In both these cases it soon becomes obvious that the perpetrators of the crimes have taken on new identities in order to live new lives undetected.
Karen also has her own issues to deal with when she discovers that the man who killed Phil is about to be released from gaol. She is also still sorting out her feelings for Hamish.
Still Life is another excellent addition to the Karen Pirie series by Val McDermid.
