The Lewis Man by Peter May

5.0

The second book of the Lewis Trilogy is every bit as engrossing as the first. I was so impressed by the first book, The Blackhouse, I went out and bought books 2 and 3 the day after finishing book 1. Peter May is an amazing author who knows how to tell a twisty tale, give authentic voice to his characters, and describe settings and scenes in such a way that you feel you are in the center of them. In addition to the mysteries in this book (there are past and present timelines, which I positively love), the plot includes a main character who suffers from dementia. It's a difficult subject to tackle, but Mr. May handled it believably and respectively. I've said it before, but this author is now an auto buy for me. An exceptional tale!
