Reviews
This sweeping tale is very well written with an absorbing plot and engaging characters. But its greatest strength is its sense of place, described in loving detail., "May evokes his native Scotland as ruggedly dangerous, his well-drawn characters equally so."-- Publishers Weekly, Praise for Peter May "Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth."-- Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times, "Vibrant details of the weaving trade, the Gaelic language, and Hebrides culture." -- Publishers Weekly, Longlisted for the CWA Dagger in the Library Award "May, the author of the critically acclaimed Lewis trilogy, set in the Outer Hebrides, mixes the rough Hebridean atmosphere with the glitter of Paris in his fourth stand-alone thriller." -- Booklist, "A story of love, revenge, dysfunctional families, overwhelming grief, and the feeling of helplessness that it causes, set against the background of the Hebrides...No one can create a more eloquently written suspense novel than Peter May. His prose evokes a setting that is almost mystical in its untamed beauty." -- D.R. Meredith, New York Journal of Books, Praise for Coffin Road "May's lyrical prose brings full color to the scenery, and the narrative intrigues from start to finish."-- Shelf Awareness (Starred Review)
