Summary
Short-listed for Audible Sounds Crime Award
An unidentified corpse is recovered from a peat bog on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. News of the discovery soon reaches Fin Macleod. However, since swapping his life in Edinburgh for a quiet existence on Lewis, such mysteries are no longer a concern for the former detective inspector. Or so he thought. The sequel to The Blackhouse, which was selected for the WH Smith Richard and Judy Bookclub, and the second book in the Lewis trilogy.

Gripping! Can’t wait to read the next one!
Gripping and heartwarming story, with an intriguing lens to the past. Difficult to put down as I had to find out what happened next.

So beautifully written and read
A very moving story, such a lot of sadness and tragedy but dealt with in a sensitive way. I loved the insight to the mind damaged by dementia in particular. Peter May knows how to spin a good yarn.

Tense, atmospheric, moving
The Lewis Trilogy is crime writing at its absolute best. Engrossing plots, believable, engaging characters, and peerless descriptive passages that transport readers to the times and places the characters inhabit. Beautifully performed, this second book is the best of the three. Cannot recommend too highly.

A bit different ...
Twists and turns - some expected but most not - engaging book from start to finish.

Trapped in this narrow corner of the world
Would you listen to The Lewis Man again? Why?
Certainly. It is beautifully written and beautifully read. The trilogy vividly evokes life in a remote part of the country and presents us with densely real characters. It transcends its genre as crime fiction.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The hero Finn McLeod. A complex and ultimately sympathetic person.
What about Peter Forbes’s performance did you like?
He is a superlative storyteller; adept in the Gaelic language; performing a range of character voices with truth and subtlety; bringing the book to life in the most authentic way.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
No Man Is an Island.
Any additional comments?
Highest praise to Peter Forbes.
