That's disappointing – the suspect I pegged at the 30% mark was indeed the killer. And, if it's that obvious to me from the evidence in 1978, why did it ever become a cold case?

Read because I saw that they're adapting the Karen Pirie series into a tv show. Looking forward to next books in the series because we're just introduced to Karen towards the end.

I found this book very engaging, though I did guess who the killer was before the end. Looking forward to reading more by this author.
