"The Dead Woman Who Lived" is a classic Golden Age murder mystery, set in Cornwall, England, in 1925.

Long presumed dead, Juliana Creed returns to her home in Cornwall with no memory of her previous life there. Struggling to reconnect to her husband, she learns of the strange circumstances of her disappearance, and is unsure if her return is as welcome as it first appeared. When her memory returns abruptly, it becomes clear it was no accident on the cliffs three years ago, but that someone tried to kill her. Unsure of whom she can trust, she turns to Alistair Carr, an old family friend with a talent for solving mysteries. Alistair becomes certain that a recent murder is linked to Juliana's original disappearance, and races to find the killer before it is too late.
