Publisher's Summary
Exclusive to Audible! Listen to a discussion between the author and the narrator of Coffin Road at the end of this recording.
A man stands bewildered on a deserted beach on the Hebridean Isle of Harris. He cannot remember who he is. The only clue to his identity is a folded map of a path named the Coffin Road. He does not know where this search will take him.
A detective from Lewis sits aboard a boat, filled with doubt. DS George Gunn knows that a bludgeoned corpse has been discovered on a remote rock 20 miles offshore. He does not know if he has what it takes to uncover how and why.
A teenage girl lies in her Edinburgh bedroom, desperate to discover the truth about her scientist father’s suicide. Two years on, Karen Fleming still cannot accept that he would wilfully abandon her. She does not yet know his secret.
Coffin Road follows three perilous journeys towards one shocking truth - and the realisation that ignorance can kill us.

Another fantastic book by Peter May
Peter Forbes does a fantastic job narrating this complex, intriguing and fascinating storyline.
One is transported to an irresistible part of the world, kept on the edge of their seat throughout and enlightened by how we are destroying our environment. I couldn't put it down!

Interesting but sometimes confusing plot
This book draws the reader along fast and reasonably effectively: it is a good book to pass the time. The plot at one point is quite convoluted and if I were reading rather than listening I would have been looking back a lot to earlier pages. As it was I did get a bit confused (as did other readers if internet forums are to be believed).
As I have read most of Peter May's books my expectations are calibrated: fair characterisation and prose, and a good engagement with the physical area and history surrounding the plot.

Not up to the standard of the Lewis Trilogy
I loved the Lewis Trilogy books, and was hoping for more of the same gritty and compelling Hebridean stories, but Coffin Road is a let down by comparison. The plot is needlessly contorted, and none of the characters are particularly likeable - except for DS George Gunn (who we don’t see enough of) and Bran the excitable Labrador. The amnesia device used to create much of the drama is a bit irritating; I found it hard to believe that someone who woke up with no memory of himself would not seek out help, at least medical help. And the main character just annoyed me by lying to the police, but trusting the repellant Sally.
Peter Forbes is brilliant as the reader, but overall..... Bring back Fin MacLeod!

Another great story set in Scotland's Western Isle
Another thrilling, atmospheric read. A great story, great characters and magic landscapes. Well written and equally well read.
