megbriers 's review for:

The Distant Echo by Val McDermid

4.0

---

for a crime writer from my home town it was maybe expected, but this book was set in pretty much all the places i have ever been. the main guy lived on my street, the major crime scene was set on the hill i sat with my friends last week, they were walking to my first year accommodation and they drove down the exact roads and paths i cycled this afternoon. plus one of the characters studied pure maths. it was just coincidence after coincidence. so all in all quite an interesting experience of a read! but a great one and glad i got round to reading a val mcdermid !
