A brand new crime drama starring Outlander star Lauren Lyle is starting tonight, Sunday, September 24, on ITV at 8pm. Karen Pirie is the broadcaster's newest cold case murder mystery series and has been adapted by screen writer and actress Emer Kenny from best-selling Scottish author Val McDermind's novel The Distant Echo.
The show will see a talented cast come together for an exciting and intriguing new series by the producers of Line of Duty and Bodyguard - World Productions - and follows the story of Detective Sergeant Karen Pirie (Lauren Lyle) as she reopens an unsolved investigation of the murder of Rosie Duff from 1996. Now, 25 years on, Karen is trying to solve the case and find the missing pieces that have remained hidden for all these years.
Speaking of the storyline, 29-year-old Lauren says: "It is quite a different take on a detective show, with a younger, underestimated woman who didn’t quite expect to have a case like this thrust upon her."
