mcmbennett 's review for:
The Blackhouse
by Peter May
This was my first Peter May book, but it certainly won't be my last. First of all, I love books set in Scotland and Peter May captured the setting beautifully. I was transported back there as I read this book. The mystery was well-plotted, and he expertly shifted seamlessly between present day and Fin Macleod's past, moving the story along. He also included some interesting actual traditions such as the annual Guga hunt in the storyline. All of the characters were well-developed and believable. Sometimes authors reveal the murderer to be someone that couldn't have been figured out in the course of the novel. That wasn't the case here, but it was a surprise. That's because of his fabulous plotting. Highly recommend this mystery. There's a reason it has won several awards.
