Karen Pirie (2022 Writer Emer Kenny)

Based on novel 'The Distant Echo' by Val McDiarmid. 3 x ITV = 2 1/4 hours.

25 year old cold case involving murder of woman in St Andrews graveyard and three suspects is reopened following persistent efforts of podcaster. Much flashbackery to 1990s and three students, one of whom - druggy nicknamed 'Weird' - is a pain in the arse (Jack Hesketh).

Our DS is quite temperamental, played by Lauren Lyle. Chris Jenks is her No. 2 and Zach Wyatt another DS / BF.


With Emer Kenny (The Curse) herself, Rakhee Thakrar (the podcaster; Sex Education), Bobby Rainsbury an unlikely murderer. We enjoyed it, and would watch another adaptation with same cast.
