About this listen
THE RETURN OF FIN MACLEOD, PETER MAY'S MUCH-LOVED HERO OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING LEWIS TRILOGY.
A MURDER
The body of eighteen-year-old TV personality Caitlin is found abandoned on a remote beach at the head of An Loch Dubh - the Black Loch - on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. A swimmer and canoeist, it is inconceivable that she could have drowned.
A SECRET
Fin Macleod left the island ten years earlier to escape its memories. When he learns that his married son Fionnlagh had been having a clandestine affair with the dead girl and is suspected of her murder, he and Marsaili return to try and clear his name.
A RECKONING
But nothing is as it seems, and the truth of the murder lies in a past that Fin would rather forget, and a tragedy at the cages of a salmon farm on East Loch Roag, where the tense climax of the story finds its resolution.
The Black Loch takes us on a journey through family ties, hidden relationships and unforgiving landscapes, where suspense, violent revenge and revelation converge in the shadow of the Black Loch.©2024 Peter May (P)2024 Penguin Audio

Excellent writing and narration
Potential spoilers ahead: Peter May writes so well and I always feel completely immersed in his books. This one was tricky for me, though, because it involves a 30 year old teacher having sex with his 18 year old student. Although various characters in the book give this behaviour the disgust it deserves, there were also characters who justified it. ‘It’s real love. He truly loves her’, ‘She wanted him and she was always going to get him’ - justifications like that. (Those are not direct quotes but that’s the gist of it). I don’t know how to respond to that. I recognise that there will always be people who say things like that and Peter May is writing to create ‘real’ and believable people. But at the same time, I don’t like justifications like that being given any airtime. And the 30 year old teacher appeared to suffer no real legal consequences for his abuse of his student. So. Yes. I have it 4 stars for its excellent writing but not 5 stars because it’s problematic for me.

Loved revisiting the Lewis Trilogy and being taken back to the islands. .
Love Peter's books, have them all and those on audio are superbly read by Peter who brings them all to life. Between the two Peter's it is like you are there with the characters on Lewis and Harris as if you are also part of the story.One of the characters had the same name as my dad and grandpa Although he was nothing like either of them. Lt kind of made it feel a bit more personal for me.

This is a great story and it finalises the whole series. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and the Island itself. A great writer and reader.

Deus ex machina
OMG- what a wonderful story; and wonderfully read. I'm going back now to listen to it again. Then, I will listen to the whole trilogy and this fourth book again.
I cannot get enough- please consider writing one more volume.
Thank you to both Peters....

The background of the 2 main characters
It was a little drawn out. Could have been a little shorter. A quicker conclusion would have made it more interesting.
