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.

Transportive

So happy to hear another Peter May book! I love the characters and feel transported to the beautiful, brooding Hebrides . Exciting storyline with lots of pace Couldn’t put it down ( also found the information on salmon farming a revelation)

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.

Loved every book in the Lewis series

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.

Sgoineal / brilliant !

peter and peter hhave pulled it off again, a trilogy of four books ? who cares after waiting for this for so long I was worried about disappointment, but it was like catching up with old friends the characters like George gun , it's like going home , both author and reader capture the hebridean essence brilliantly, lets hope there is scope for another ? there is iśland/ iceland ? the faroes,etc ? i am totally addicted to the Scottish based books ,thankyou for a incredible read ( and a visit home to the Hebrides)
******!

Couldn’t finish; so disappointing as I’ve enjoyed so many of the author’s books

Went into tedious ‘Reacher’ territory padding out the book with pointless descriptions of incidental actions/events, boring recaps of key points … and wiki summaries of things like the modern salmon industry and cage design. The backstory goes on and on so the murder mystery takes a back seat. I gave up
