Karen Pirie episode guide:

- Episode three - Sunday 3rd October
The show is based on The Distant Echo by Val McDermid, which is the first book in the long-running Karen Pirie series.
The novels follow a young Scottish detective in the university town of St. Andrew's.
In the first series, we see Pirie reopen an investigation into a 1996 murder case following the popularity of a provocative true-crime podcast.
While no charges were made over the death of teenager Rosie Duff, there was plenty of eyes looking at three students who claimed to have found her body.
More than two decades later, Karen is determined to find out whether these men know more than they previously let on.
Starring alongside Lauren are the likes of Chris Jenks as Jason ‘Mint’ Murray, Zach Wyatt as DS Phil Parhatka, Michael Schaeffer as Tom ‘Weird’ Mackie senior, and Alec Newman as Sigmund ‘Ziggy’ Malkiewicz senior.
