APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This is the first instalment of Peter May’s excellent thriller trilogy set on Hebridean outpost the Isle of Lewis. The island is where D.I. Fin Macleod grew up and he returns to investigate a gruesome murder that may have links to one of his own cases in Edinburgh. May builds Fin as a compelling character by juxtaposing his tough, present-day demeanour with flashbacks to an emotionally scarring past. Lewis is an equally powerful presence in the rich, snaking plot: its treacherous landscape holds dark secrets and provides an atmospheric backdrop for the scintillating final showdown.
