About this listen
On a freezing morning four drunken students stumble upon the body of a woman in the snow. Rosie has been raped, stabbed and left for dead in a cemetery. 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....

Keeps you guessing ...
Really enjoyed the tension in this story. A number of threads - a number of possibilities. But all come together in the end with an unexpected finish.

Was OK
Any additional comments?
The book was OK, not boring, but not catchy as well.Felt a bit too long when describing main heroes lives, when you'd expect twists and turns and some detective deduction work...
It's not bad, read it.

Stunning Story
Wonderful story covering twenty five years you become very involved in the involving lives of the characters. The story is complemented by the rich voice of Tom Cotcher.

Picked the perpetrator early on
Having read many many murder mysteries, I did hit on the murderer early on. Were the clues subtle enough? Not sure... However, I did enjoy the plot line, the interwoven character development and red herrings. Some accents were a bit befuddled.
