On a freezing night in Fife 4 drunken students stumble on a body of a girl who has been stabbed and raped. They are the only suspects. 25 years later the police reopen the investigation as a cold case and two of the 4 suspects are suspiciously murdered. An extremely well written thriller with many sub plots. Val gives us little clues to work out the murderer instead of suddenly being introduced a new character in the last few chapters. Val McDermid has a new series. Ok new for me. The Tony Hills books were great, and now with this first book in the Karen Pirie series Val McDermid just keeps getting better. This time out 4 friends walking home at 3 in the morning stumble across a dead girl on the side of a hill. Immediately they are treated like suspects. Half the book takes place around the time of the murder and half takes place 25 years later. What makes this author so good- up there with Michael Connelly and James Lee Burke is her story telling ability. For a lot of this book they is no action going on. B I t the weaving together the 4 friends and everyone else involved, made this book fly, and on kindle it was over 500 pages. If you like murder mysteries and haven’t read Val McDermid, try one of her books. There isn’t too much Scottish slang. And with Google you can look anything up. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

The award-winning Number One bestseller and Queen of crime fiction Val McDermid carves out a stunning psychological thriller. The past is behind them, but what's still to come will tear them apart... Some things just won't let go. The past, for instance. That night in the cemetery. The girl's body in the snow. On a freezing Fife morning four drunken students stumble upon the body of a woman in the snow. Rosie has been raped, stabbed and left for dead in an ancient Pictish cemetery. And the only suspects are the four young men now stained with her blood. Twenty-five years later the police mount a 'cold case' review of Rosie's unsolved murder and the four are still suspects. But when two of them die in suspicious circumstances, it seems that someone is pursuing their own brand of justice. For the remaining two there is only one way to avoid becoming the next victim - find out who really killed Rosie all those years ago... Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
