The Blackhouse
by Peter May
This was definitely a well-crafted novel but, too often, it felt like an uphill slog through a Scottish bog. May doesn't quite provide the character development necessary to dig into the story - and this is definitely a character-driven novel, not a mystery, since the crime driving the plot is often idling on the verge. Still, I appreciate the commitment to creating a context that serves as a strong character; I just won't choose to read the next in the series.
