Fantastic
By far the best book I’ve ever read.

The book cover says it all!
This story is as eerie as the book cover. A very bleak and dark storyline that centers more on the back story of the main character's childhood growing up on Lewis Island that you sometimes forget a murder is supposed to be solved.
It all comes together in the end with a past revealed that I did not see coming.
Will definitely be reading the rest of the trilogy.
Listened to this one versus reading the book.
Emmy

When you "return home", you find what you left -- and more.
I wouldn't dream of giving away the ending, which was not at all what I expected it to be -- great mix of character development, police procedural and atmosphere. Want to read more by this guy!
