About this listen
From the twelve-million copy bestselling author of the Lewis trilogy comes a chilling new mystery set in the isolated Scottish Highlands.
A tomb of ice
A young meteorologist checking a mountain top weather station in Kinlochleven discovers the body of a missing man entombed in ice.
A dying detective
Cameron Brodie, a Glasgow detective, sets out on a hazardous journey to the isolated and ice-bound village. He has his own reasons for wanting to investigate a murder case so far from his beat.
An agonizing reckoning
Brodie must face up to the ghosts of his past and to a killer determined to bury forever the chilling secret that his investigation threatens to expose.
Set against a backdrop of a frighteningly plausible near-future, A Winter Grave is Peter May at his best.
©2023 Peter May (P)2023 Quercus Editions LimitedMy only disappointments were guessing the obvious ‘why’ as soon as a certain topic (don’t want to spoil it for other listeners) was mentioned. The ‘who’ wasn’t revealed until near the end of the book, even though there’s quite a body count. There was a nice little paternity twist later in the book, and I didn’t know which way it would go. I can see how the climate change topic fitted in with the 2052 setting, but wasn’t sure if May was employing the issue of fossil fuel use as a tool, around which to write a story, or whether he was lecturing me and reprimanding me for having a coal boiler and wood fire.
Very good, but……..

The future in which Peter May sets his novel is, helas, more than plausible. Peter May has shown once again that he is a great master. I am looking forward to more novels set in a future Scotland by Peter May.
Another outstanding Peter May novel
