THE DISTANT ECHO

Val McDermid. THE DISTANT ECHO. Harper, 2003.

A 25-year old cold case murder of Rosie Duff haunts the four suspect lads from Kirkaldy, attending St Andrews at the time, and the surviving family members. Introduces Karen Pirie.

I cannot believe that this is my fourth Val McD and I had never heard of her before this year. I am re-watching TRACE on Knowledge Network, also set in Dundee. The writer made a cameo appearance in an early chapter of the story of another cold case re-opened.
