Review of The Black Loch by Peter May

 

Ad-PR

Today is my stop on the blog tour for The Black Loch by Peter May.

When eighteen year old Caitlin is found dead on a beach by the black loch, the tight knit local community is shocked.

It emerges that she was having an affair with Fionlagh Macleod who is a teacher at the Nicholson institute where Caitlin was a student.

It turns out he is also the son of Detective Fin Macleod. Fin left the island over a decade earlier, but returns in a desperate attempt to help his son.  

Despite the evidence against him, Fin will do what he can. However, the case soon takes him back on a journey to his own past and a terrible accident that occurred many years before.

I really enjoyed the setting of the Hebrides, which is somewhere I would like to visit.

This is a brilliant read that I did not want to put down. It is full of suspense, family secrets and set against the brooding dramatic landscape of the Hebrides.

I highly recommend for crime fiction fans.

Thank you to Ransom PR for sending me a copy.
