About this listen
Marilyn Stasio in The New York Times raved: "Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth." Among the many honors received, The Blackhouse, the first novel in May's acclaimed Lewis trilogy, won the Barry and Crime Thriller Hound awards.
In The Lewis Man, the second book of the trilogy, Fin Macleod has returned to the Isle of Lewis, the storm-tossed, wind-scoured outer Hebridean island where he was born and raised. Having left behind his adult life in Edinburgh - including his wife and his career in the police force - the former Detective Inspector is intent on repairing past relationships and restoring his parents' derelict cottage. His plans are interrupted when an unidentified corpse is recovered from a Lewis peat bog. The only clue to its identity is a DNA match to a local farmer, the now-senile Tormod Macdonald - the father of Fin's childhood sweetheart, Marsaili - a man who has claimed throughout his life to be an only child, practically an orphan. Reluctantly drawn into the investigation, Fin uncovers deep family secrets even as he draws closer to the killer who wishes to keep them hidden.
Already an international best-seller and winner of numerous awards, including France's Prix des Lecteurs du Telegramme, The Lewis Man has the lyrical verve of Ian Rankin and the gutsy risk-taking of Benjamin Black. As fascinating and forbidding as the Hebridean landscape, the book (according to The Times) "throbs with past and present passions, jealousies, suspicions and regrets; the emotional secrets of the bleak island are even deeper than its peat bog."

Thoroughly Enjoyed!
What a unique book. I liked the past and future and the way the narrator differentiated between the two. The twists and turns along the way had me in its grips from beginning to end.

Engaging
This series is so engaging. Peter Forbes is a perfect narrator. I live on an Island and The author captures the ever changing landscape beautifully. It becomes a “ character”. And what a feat to explore the mind of a dementia patient!. The characters, and their managing of difficult situations, are rendered truthfully and compassionately. The detective work by Finn links the whole world. Loved it.

Great book 2 of the Lewis Trilogy
Peter May does it again! This is excellent story telling with vivid descriptive language that places the listener/reader in the middle of it all. I can't wait to go through the final book of the series.
The narration by Peter Forbes is spot on.
