A friend recommended this trilogy of books set on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, and I must thank her very much for introducing me to another great series of Scottish crime novels.
Detective Inspector Fin McLeod had been trying to solve a murder in Edinburgh when he was sent to Lewis Island to investigate a crime that may have been committed by the same person. Lewis Island is where he grew up, the place that he left eighteen years previously and had only returned to once in that time to attend the funeral of his aunt.
The victim of the latest crime was one of the bullies when Fin was at school and, as he investigates the death, memories of his past life on the island are revealed. This novel is about Fin rediscovering himself and re-evaluting his life as well as solving the crime. As the story unfolds Fin discovers that he has been lured back to Lewis Island for revenge, but why?
I enjoyed reading this book and must thank the NBN for once again not working, providing me with a day without the internet that could be spent reading.
