Reseñas de la Crítica

A rip-roaring thriller . . . thoroughly enjoyable

A wonderfully complex book (Peter James, on Entry Island)

The Lewis Man shone like a bright star out of this year's book lists. Lyrical, empathetic and moving (Alex Gray)

He is a terrific writer doing something different (Mark Billingham)

From the first page I knew I was in safe hands. I knew I could trust this writer (Sophie Hannah)

Wonderfully compelling (Kate Mosse)

Western France - now May's own stamping ground - is as much a character in the book as the Hebrides were in his formidable Isle of Lewis sequence

Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth

Instantly struck by the beauty of the descriptions of the wild island terrain as well as by the roundedness and complexity of the characterisations

One of the best regarded crime series of recent years (Boyd Tonkin, on the Lewis trilogy)

May's novels are strong on place and the wounds left by old relationships

Stunning proze

This in the end trilogy which i first bought as single book overlooks decades in the life of Finn and although being a woman i could fully being transformed into this boy/ man and all his emotions, fears, the love for Scotland and the outer hebrides which i visited too seeps theough in every sentence , his words made me walk the bezches, feel the wind , taste the salt on my lips, stunning proze giving life in the voice of peter forbes a magical combination ♥️

Picks up where The Lewis Man ends

I have now listened to all three books in the series (to include The Lewis Man and The Chessmen) and each are excellent. I think it helps to listen to them in order because the relationships grow with each book. This book explains what happens after the dramatic climax of The Lewis Man.

I highly recommend the entire series--but listen to them in order or you might be lost.

I felt slightly disappointed - it was a good enough ending but ,,, something didn't gel as much as tghe first two for me

Peter May’s Hebridean trilogy

The narrator, Peter Forbes, was fantastic. I could listen to him for hours. The story itself was a bit of a mixed bag, with a lot of characters to get your head around and all the different relationships.
