About this listen

Short-listed for Audible Sounds Crime Award

An unidentified corpse is recovered from a peat bog on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. News of the discovery soon reaches Fin Macleod. However, since swapping his life in Edinburgh for a quiet existence on Lewis, such mysteries are no longer a concern for the former detective inspector. Or so he thought. The sequel to The Blackhouse, which was selected for the WH Smith Richard and Judy Bookclub, and the second book in the Lewis trilogy.

Really enjoyed this book. So many aspects to it. From the dementia of one of the main characters to the plot that takes you through many twists and turns.
All beautifully written by a man who knows how to involve you in a story of strong characters.
It's not fast paced but nevertheless very enjoyable.

Beautifully written thriller

This book is part two of the Lewis trilogy.
It may well be fiction, but my goodness both Peter May and Peter Forbes make it so real .
Peter May’s description of the Highlands and Island’s of Scotland and of Edinburgh and The Dean Gallery, both places I love , are wonderful, powerful and delicious to encounter again and again, the story line is a wonderful experience of love of endurance through time tinged with sadness and despair for a love lost forever and a love just lost .
The detail of Peter May’s writing is as if you were actually there as a third person standing in the wings witnessing everything as it unfolded.
Brilliant.
Peter Forbes narration just adds to this wonderful trilogy, the depth of feelings that he gives to each individual caricature just adds to the enjoyment, there were times when I was in tears for poor Tormid’s despair and times when I smiled at the antics he got up to .
All in all just a wonderful, wonderful, journey which I return to time and time again .
Peter May thank you for giving me that escape we desperately need sometimes, in all of your writings.
Peter Forbes , thank you for bringing these to life so brilliantly.
Dougal , a confirmed fan of both Peter’s .
Thank you both

Part two of a truly wonderful trilogy

Thought it was a weak finish. Guessed a lot of the story early on but worth listening to because of the narrator performance

Great Narrator

This was a very enjoyable mystery and included a beautiful description of the islands and the characters. There was history in the story of the home boys some of whom I have since learned ended up in Ireland. And there was the lovely way in which the author imagined how it might be for a person with Alzeimhers. It was all beautifully narrated by Peter Forbes.
