Detective Benjamin Maurice arrives for another call: a young woman has been murdered in her own home. In the garden, he finds a hairpin with a lock of hair, and when he returns to the mansion, he discovers that the house is empty, there is no corpse, no colleagues. Deciding that everyone has left, he takes the find with him and brings it to the station in the morning. But there they make fun of the detective, not understanding what kind of murder they are talking about. Maurice already decides that he is going crazy, but suddenly the very woman whom he saw dead yesterday comes and complains of threats ..."Laura Cayley's debut novel is a successful example of the development of the detective genre. The novel successfully combined a dynamic plot with unexpected twists, good style and intellectual questions. 'In the Time Loop' is not only fascinating, but also encourages you to think about the most relevant topics." — Ekaterina Khramenkova, literary critic"When you start reading this unusual novel, you realize that with each page, events are spinning faster and faster from all sides, and you are already running, chasing the author's thought, plunging deeper and deeper into this story. . . .
