Proof that I‘m a mood reader! I started this a few months ago and only read a few chapters before returning it to the library. This time around, I finished it in four days! It‘s 400 pages long and has some grim scenes, but it‘s ultimately a satisfying read.
If you‘ve read the first three books, you know Fin is kind of a jerk but has a good heart underneath his bravado, and this plays out here when his son is accused of murder.

pickA 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.
pickThis 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.
Getting back into this book and series for my #hyggehourreadathon tonight. I just got back from going out to dinner with my friends, and my husband is at work. The rest of the evening is for me.
Happy Christmas Eve Eve! I‘m not going to finish anything else by tomorrow night, so here‘s my wrap up for #Adventathon which as usual did not go entirely as planned. But that‘s okay!
I finished three books from my original list plus two more. The tagged book plus three more from various libraries are riding around in my car waiting for me to get (back) to them.
The Frozen River became available earlier than expected, so I pivoted to it for now.
1. Several years ago I developed a personal holiday tradition. On the way home from Christmas Eve service, I take a different route so I can see a historic bridge that‘s decorated with lights. I like to park across the street and sit quietly in my car for a few moments of calm and peace.
2. I‘m looking forward to reading the tagged book once I finish December book club selections.

The body of eighteen-year-old TV personality Caitlin is found abandoned on a remote beach at the head of A Loch Dubh - the Black Loch - on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. When he learns that his married son Fionnlagh had been having a clandestine affair with the dead girl and is suspected of her murder, he and Marsaili return to try and clear his name.
pickI loved it! The best thing to do is to read the old books and then continue with this one. So many characters from back in the days, and so much history. This book was great, but also heartbreaking. Peter May is a magnificent writer, and his characters are so believable and flawed that sometimes it chills my bones. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#netgalley

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
Yeeeeeeeeees!!!!!! I love Peter May 🥰
