The Distant Echo
Ratings16
Average rating4
Val McDermid's The Distant Echo is, even more so than with her previous work, a masterpiece of trickery and misdirection. In 1978, four male students find the body of Rosie Duff half-buried in the snow and their lives are variously damaged by the suspicion that falls on them when the murder is never solved; a quarter of a century later, the case is reopened and suddenly the quartet start to be killed one after the other.

ITV is filming it first series based on Pirie and as i love McDermid's Scottish Noir so I thought it time to start this series. Karen Pirie hardly appears in this first book, coming in at the end, when the case eis now a cold case. Val is a master a re-telling 70/80s Scotland and i really enjoyed this one
Great read, almost too exciting for my taste. She must have gotten awards for it, it is beautifully constructed with a surprising outcome. Nice cast of characters. Karen Pirie only has a tiny role in this first book and, having read several of the other Karen Piries, this one is totally different and way more ambitious.
