The Distant Echo by Val McDermid

3.0

---

The Distant Echo is, to my knowledge, my first Val McDermid novel. I have obviously seen her name around but haven’t picked up anything by her to read. This case involves some college students finding a dying girl, trying and failing to save her and the fall out of those actions. Years later they are being picked off one by one and the only recourse is to try to solve the original case to figure out what is happening. There are lots of twists and turns and characters on the way to a final resolution to solving Rosie’s murder. A very well plotted mystery
