Next up in my påskekrim reading: Contemporary Scottish crime. Not sure if these are police procedurals, or more psychological like my previous read. Coincidentally both were recommended by my mother.

This is a great bargain in the U.K. One of my favourite trilogies for 99p for all 3 books!

Would be great reads for #Teamslaughter in #Scarathlon2020

Day 4 #Top20series #20series20days Peter May - a must. This might even be the best trilogy I have ever read. I could have chosen his other series as well, because he is simply an amazing author! One of his stand alones, Entry Island, is pure perfection! If you are not familiar with Peter May, it‘s about time you start reading his books! ❤️

Andrew65 Loved this series, and especially the shock in book 3. 4y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 It‘s a trilogy I will reread for sure! He‘s a master storyteller. 4y
Andrew65 Most definitely but he‘s let us down on the red coat! 4y
EadieB I love this series too as I posted it as one of my 20 the other day. I love all his books and have to agree that he is an amazing writer. 4y
Tove_Reads @EadieB Indeed! This trilogy and author deserves all the praise in the world! 4y

Excellent descriptions of the harsh realities of island life and the natural world in these three mysteries. The first was full of suspense and anxiety for the main character and the second kept me turning the pages to find out why the murder happened. The third was the weakest - not consistent with the first - and the dual time line, which worked well in the earlier two books was just confusing here. A pick but only just.

RaimeyGallant Nice review! 6y

Scottish author Peter May is an accomplished writer. He covers Jimmy Perez in the Highlands, Enzo in French Crime challenges and a third series based in China. Brilliant reads all.
