The Mermaids Singing” is McDermid’s most intense, gory, dark, and twisted murder mystery novel, and it gets graphic very soon. It is also the reason why this book and the series are loved by murder mystery fans. I belong to a Book Club in which each of us chooses an author. I have chosen Val McDermid because her Karen Pirrie novels have captured my imagination and I would like other reader to also experience the magic of her writing. Her best book ever is “A Place of Execution” in which you can almost smell the heather on the moors, a fabulous work of fiction. Reply But things go south when the singer, Lorna, is murdered, and a teacher is blamed for it. The headmistress asks Gordon to investigate the case and get to the bottom of it. It is where the murder investigation starts, and things get exciting. Outlander star Lauren Lyle will take the lead role of Karen Pirie in a new ITV drama series from the producers of Line of Duty and Bodyguard, World Productions. A Darker Domain– Twenty-five years ago, a woman and her baby son were kidnapped and held for ransom. Catriona Grant ended up dead and little Adam’s fate has remained a mystery ever since. When a new clue is discovered in a deserted Tuscan villa – along with grisly evidence of a recent murder – cold case expert DI Karen Pirie is assigned to follow the trail.

The Distant Echo– Four drunken students stumble upon the body of a woman in the snow and became the only suspects. 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. My first published work, this was adapted from my first attempt at a novel. I wrote the novel when I was about twenty, so of course it was full of all the things that 20-year-olds know about — love, hate, angst, the meaning of life and, naturally, a suicide attempt in the penultimate chapter. Without no substantial evidence to point to the culprit, and with their alibis not convincing enough, the four friends who were acting as good Samaritan and had Rosie’s blood all over their clothes in efforts to keep her alive, find themselves the main suspects in Rosie’s murder. While they are never formally charged with the murder and no evidence against them, the suspicion that follows them forever changes their lives, and Rosie’s death would remain unsolved for decades. Karen Pirie will be executive produced by Simon Heath, World Production’s CEO. World has been producing critically acclaimed, award winning drama since 1990 and was awarded Best Independent Production Company at both the Broadcast Awards and the Edinburgh TV Festival in 2019.
