Resumen del Editor

From acclaimed author and dramatist Peter May comes the Barry award-winning The Blackhouse, the first book in the Lewis Trilogy - a riveting mystery series set on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland's Outer Hebrides.

When a grisly murder occurs on the Isle of Lewis that bears similarities to a brutal killing on the mainland, Edinburgh detective and native islander Fin Macleod is dispatched to the Outer Hebrides to investigate, embarking at the same time on a voyage into his own troubled past.

As Fin reconnects with the people and places of his tortured childhood, the desolate but beautiful island and its ancient customs once again begin to assert their grip on his psyche. Every step toward solving the case brings Fin closer to a dangerous confrontation with the dark events of the past that shaped - and nearly destroyed - his life.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A gripping plot, pitch-perfect characterization, and an appropriately bleak setting drive this outstanding series debut." (Connie Fletcher, Booklist, starred review)

"A thriller with an intensity that never slackens, chilling and igneous at the same time, like the great country that serves as its setting. A masterpiece indeed." (L'Humanite)

"Abundant local color... matches Macleod's tormented emotional landscape. The struggles of such multidimensional characters... add depth." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

Great story but troubling

Story ends well but a lot of sadness and man's inhumanity to man and emotional pain.

Stunning work

I’ve listened to hundreds of books. This ranks as one of the best. Incredibly atmospheric. Wonderful character development and a cracking good who done it. What more could you ask for? Can’t wait to dive into more by this author.

Compelling mystery, family saga

Very enjoyable. Not crazy about bird killing but skipped through and loved the book as a whole

Beautiful descriptive landscape

The poetry of Peter May's writing was irresistible. "Life went by in a flash like a bus on a rainy night. You had to be sure it saw you and stopped to let you on"

So well written and so well read.

I found myself on Google maps following along on this wonderful journey. I can't recommend this book strongly enough.

Another gem found!

I have a difficult time finding a good book, and I am always so pleased to find a gem. This book does not disappoint! I loved it from the very beginning. Excellent characters, story line, twists and turns. I can’t wait to start the second book in the series.

The Blackhouse is as good as it gets

If you enjoy suspense, fascinating characters, psychological complexity, beautifully described scenes, and first rate writing, you have to read this masterful book by Peter May. This is as good a book about crime and detection as I have ever read. Or rather, listened to, the narration as well as the writing is superb. I am eager to dive into the next two books of the trilogy.
