The Blackhouse
Detective Inspector Fin Macleod heads to the Isle of Lewis to investigate a brutal murder. It’s the tiny isolated island in the Outer Hebrides where he grew up and couldn’t wait to flee. Everyone there knows everyone’s business but something sinister lurks and the investigation brings Fin dangerously closer to the past he tried to leave behind. My friend Mel read this while we were in Scotland and reports it’s a dark police procedural with major content warnings but the detective is so compelling that she tore through the trilogy.
