I have just finished a book 'The Blackhouse' by Peter May. A brutal killing takes place on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland: a land of harsh beauty and inhabitants of deep-rooted faith. Detective Inspector Fin Macleod is sent from Edinburgh to investigate. For Lewis-born Macleod, the case represents a journey both home and into his past.
Peter May is an award winning Scottish television screenwriter, novelist and crime writer.
I bought this book in Aviemore at a coffee stop while travelling up to Garve in the Highlands for New Year to read on the coach as it's over 5 hours by road. I found it to be one of those novels that you just can't put down.
Here is a clip from the television Book Club presented by Richard and Judy. They are interviewing the author Peter May.
The Blackhouse is the first book in a trilogy. The second novel is called 'Lewis Man' which follows Fin Macleod investigating another murder on Lewis. This one even more sinister than the first. I can't wait to read it.
