Lewismannen by Peter May

I listened to the audiobook version and the narrator does a great job of transporting the listener straight to the outer Hebrides. But there's a device in this story -- of an elderly man with dementia -- that doesn't work as well in audiobook as I think it would work in print. For this reason, I liked this second instalment in The Lewis Trilogy less than the first. Still good, though. Peter May is an excellent story-teller.

Dit was deel 2; weer meteen vanaf het begin was ik gepakt door het verhaal. Soms wel een aantal uitspraken of gebeurtenissen die richting ✨clichés✨ gingen. Ineens in de laatste hoofdstukken vond Peter May het nodig om zoveel mogelijk actie-scènes te verwerken, vooralsnog echt genoten.
De laatste bladzijde van The Black House (deel 1) stelde mij ontzettend teleur en de laatste bladzijdes van The Lewis Man maakte alles weer dubbel zo goed.
