The Distant Echo
by Val McDermid
Four drunken students find the body of a young woman in a snowy wood at four in the morning. Nobody is charged with the murder but for twenty-five years a cloud of suspicion hangs over the young men. Then the case is reopened, and somebody starts picking them off one by one.
A tense and compelling thriller which had me wanting more at 3 am. I did guess whodunnit quite early on, but that may have been more luck than judgement as the plot twists. But it's the portrayal of the four central characters, how they hold together and pull apart and cope with the shadow each in his own way that makes this book.
