The Distant Echo

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.
