A man washes up on the Scottish island of Harris with no memory of who he is. Meanwhile, another man is found murdered on the remote Flannan Isles. Our amnesiac main character is concerned he may be the killer and tries to put his memory together to figure out the mystery. I really enjoyed this. Riveting story and stunning setting.

kspenmoll Love this series- the setting does make me want to visit the islands! 1w
Hooked_on_books @kspenmoll That‘s exactly what I was thinking last night. I need to get myself to the outer Hebrides! 1w

This book looks at the tiny, remote culture of St Kilda, an outer Hebridean island group evacuated of its human population in the 1930s. It‘s a very interesting read told in an engaging fashion with little bits of humor here and there. I really enjoyed it and would love to visit there someday.

BethM Wow how interesting 2w

#TheChessmen #PeterMay #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024 #August2024

I thoroughly enjoyed this book as well as all the books in the trilogy. It's hard to say good bye to the island of Lewis and all the wonderful characters that we met on the island. They all seem like real people to me. Excellent plot which kept the pages turning and lots of surprises at the end. Peter May is one talented writer! read 2/8/15

EadieB This book is a reread of The Chessmen by Peter May. It is about the body of Roddy MacKenzie being found during a 'Bog Burst' which drains a lock of its water revealing a light aircraft. I read this book 9-1/2 years ago and only remembered a few things. I'm looking forward to the next book, The Black Loch, by Peter May published in September 2024. reread 8/11/2024 6mo

Spent the day in Boston. Visited a used bookstore, Commonwealth Books and bought the tagged book.

While waiting for the train at South Station, sat at TITS and got a glass of wine and started book. Now reading it on the train.

Pruzy TITS? 9mo

This is the dramatic conclusion to May‘s award-winning Lewis trilogy. Dramatic, tense, and fascinating. I had a bit of trouble distinguishing past from present via the audiobook, but that‘s forgivable bc of the impeccable writing🖤

A bit late with this!

1. Most definitely, that can lead to a book staying long in your memory.

2. The Chessmen had a real jaw dropping moment that had me reeling, also Blue Lightning by Ann Cleeves (still not sure I‘ve forgiven her).

3. Along with Peter May and Ann Cleeves I‘d also mention Hatlan Coben and Linwood Barclay.

Mollyanna Oh no Blue Lightning is my next read in that series. Now I‘m scared to read it. 3y
Andrew65 @Mollyanna You won‘t see it coming! Hopefully not given any spoilers. (edited) 3y
BookmarkTavern You‘ve got some good authors there! Thank you for sharing! ❤️ 3y
Andrew65 @ozma.of.oz Some of my favourites. 3y
