clivey 's review for:
The Distant Echo
by Val McDermid
"Don’t underestimate how slender are the threads that bind us to the life we have." This story unfolds slowly, walking step-by-painful-step through the past murder that becomes the stone around four friends' necks who were witnesses/suspects of the death of Rosie. Yet the pace adds proper weight to the events and allows time to delve deep into the characters. I was impressed with how McDermid keeps you caring about characters whom you're not sure whether you should like. Plus, the story is steeped in Scottishness.
