..."czy wróci mu pamięć? (...) To jego podświadomość przekręciła klucz w tym zamku i tylko jego podświadomość może go znów otworzyć"Peter May jest autorem, którego polubiłam po przeczytaniu trylogii Wyspa Lewis. Najnowsza jego powieść "Na szlaku trumien" to wciągający thriller ukazujący nam co się d...
I loved this book. It's impossible to decide whether Blackhouse or Chessmen was better. I preferred the characters in this one, especially Whistler and his daughter - although how dare Peter May call Goth ugly? How dare he!?! A clever (albeit it at time convoluted) mystery with the same dual timelin...
The Lewis Man is a murder mystery that also reveals the extreme poverty and sectarianism of the Scottish islands. May describes the scenery and landscape with incredible skill, love and respect, evoking an additional (arguably the most important) character, the main antagonist- the land. While this ...
One of these days I'll learn to look up whether a book is a part of a series before buying it. Not that it mattered in this case because The Lewis Man works very well without knowledge of the previous book. I loved the solid mystery of the story but not as much as I loved the atmosphere that May c...
Book # 3, in the Lewis trilogyThis final plot in the trilogy set on the island of Lewis featuring former policeman Fin MacLeod works perfectly well as a standalone novel. Although, newcomers will have plenty of backstory to assimilate but be assured it is neatly woven in the narrative that you will ...
This book gave me chills in all the right ways. Not just because of the brilliant storyline but in the way the story unfolded and drew me in with every detailed scene. And that ending! I didn't see it coming at all, partly because I thought I'd figured it out a few chapters in and then, bam! It's ju...
Endinburgh's DS Fin Macleod returns to work after a month's bereavement leave and is immediately sent to the Isle of Lewis to aid in a murder investigation. The murder shares some commonalities with a murder he'd been investigating before his leave and Fin grew up in the same town as the murder -- i...
Book #2, in The Lewis TrilogyThis second episode takes place sometime after the end of “The Blackhouse”. Finn MacLeod has returned to his emotional home on the island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides and plans to restore his parents’ derelict house but before getting to the task, he finds himself embr...

A good friend recommended Peter May to me when I was looking for mystery writers to add to my 'to read' list. I picked up a couple and this is the one I decided to read first. Out of all of his books, I picked this one because I liked the idea of a Scots-Italian hero in his early 50s with a pony ta...
