The Chessmen by Peter May
4.0
Peter May má velmi osobitý styl psaní. Zatím jsem od něho četl jenom Lewisovskou trilogii, ale styl vyprávění je ve všech třech knihách téměř stejný. Vždy se jedná o prolínání časových linií a o střídání první a třetí osoby vypravěče. Zatímco u druhého dílu mě to přečtení prvního dílu velmi vyrušovalo (čti sralo) u třetího dílu jsem si na to asi zase zvykl. Jedná se o další velmi podařený pohled do tvrdého ostrovního života, kde se vyšetřuje desítek let stará vražda. Fin Macleod už nepůsobí jako takový fňukal a jeho výpravy v myšlenkách do minulosti působí velmi živě. Prostě doporučuji.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The writing style of Peter May in a Lewis trilogy is very specific. In all three books he is mixing two timelines and he changes the perspective of narrator. I was really upset by this in second book but I think I got used it and by third book and I even enjoyed it. The book has a really vivid insight in hard lives of people on Lewis island, where by the way another old murder is investigated. Main character is a little bit tougher (not like a little crybaby in the second book). So I recommend it, it is definitely better than second book.
