About this listen

A Sunday Times and Richard and Judy best seller and the first instalment in Peter May's sensational, million-selling Lewis trilogy. 

A brutal killing takes place on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland: a land of harsh beauty and inhabitants of deep-rooted faith. 

A Murder
Detective Inspector Fin Macleod is sent from Edinburgh to investigate. For Lewis-born Macleod, the case represents a journey both home and into his past. 

A Secret
Something lurks within the close-knit island community. Something sinister. 

A Trap
As Fin investigates, old skeletons begin to surface, and soon he, the hunter, becomes the hunted.

I picked this up as an easy listen and it was! I enjoyed the characters and learning more about the Hebridean life. Peter Forbes is really pleasant to listen to.

Beautiful and a great listen, this is how to write, brilliant narration and wonderful writing and yes it’s a murder investigation but it is so so much more than that. Loved it. Took a while to get totally swept away but i did and it was worth listening.
