The Blackhouse by Peter May
4.0

At first, I was disappointed that this was not another of the "Enzo Files". I had decided not to read it, but finding some time on my hands after Thanksgiving dinner-I picked it up...and barely put it down until it was finished. Dark and brooding, the movement between present day and Fin's past made an exciting trip through the story. An unexpected twist at the end has me curious about the next book in the series!

"A brutal killing takes place on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland: a land of harsh beauty and inhabitants of deep-rooted faith. A MURDER. Detective Inspector Fin Macleod is sent from Edinburgh to investigate. For Lewis-born Macleod, the case represents a journey both home and into his past. A SECRET. Something lurks within the close-knit island community. Something sinister. A TRAP. As Fin investigates, old skeletons begin to surface, and soon he, the hunter, becomes the hunted."
