A review by valerie87
The Lewis Man by Peter May
5.0
“When you are young a year is a big part of your life and seems to last forever. When you are old, there have been too many of them gone before and they pass all too fast. We move so slowly away from birth, and rush so quickly to death.”
Peter May writes an excellent mystery. And listening to it narrated by Peter Forbes makes the story come to life.
A murdered body that was buried 50 years earlier is found on the Isle of Lewis. The local police department are able to match his DNA with that of Marsaili’s father. Unfortunately, her father is suffering from dementia and can not help to identify the body. Fin Macleod, who has recently quit his job with the Edinburgh Police Department, now lives on the Island. He is determined to help Marsaili prove her father’s innocence before the police from Inverness fly in.
I felt this was a heartbreaking story reading about her father’s dementia and difficult childhood. That said, I still loved it just as much as the first book. Peter May is great at making readers feel like they are on the islands and experiencing the hard lives of the residents there.
I look forward to the final book in the trilogy.
