Reviews
"Order, read, and pass it on! Well known for novels and television dramas, Scottish author May ( Backlight Blue ; Chinese Whispers ) has written a mesmerizing new trilogy opener. May brings the story to a breathtaking conclusion with an astonishing twist at the end. Compare to Simon Beckett's Written in Bone for locale and Tana French for tone." -- Library Journal (Starred Review) "The Isle of Lewis, one of Scotland's starkly beautiful Outer Hebrides islands, is as much a character in this novel as its hardscrabble residents. Edinburgh detective and native islander Fin Macleod returns to his boyhood home and its haunting memories when a murder on the island seems to mirror a similar one in the country's capital. His investigation will expose ugly island secrets, painful childhood memories and shocking revelations about a woman he once loved. The novel's moody atmosphere is as much about the gray skies and the inhabitants' cultural and religious idiosyncrasies as it is about the motives of a killer. The bleak Blackhouse shines with intrigue and superb plotting." -- USA Today, "Order, read, and pass it on!
