À propos de cet audio
When a grisly murder occurs on the Isle of Lewis that bears similarities to a brutal killing on the mainland, Edinburgh detective and native islander Fin Macleod is dispatched to the Outer Hebrides to investigate, embarking at the same time on a voyage into his own troubled past.
As Fin reconnects with the people and places of his tortured childhood, the desolate but beautiful island and its ancient customs once again begin to assert their grip on his psyche. Every step toward solving the case brings Fin closer to a dangerous confrontation with the dark events of the past that shaped -- and nearly destroyed -- his life.

Histoire9
Detective Lauren Pengelly has only been part of the Penzance police force for less than two years, but that’s enough time to know that the sleepy Cornish town doesn’t see many murders. So, when the bones of a woman with a hole in her skull are discovered behind a derelict cottage, she immediately assumes the worst. Rallying her team, Lauren is flooded with a strange sense of relief when the bones turn out to be almost twenty years old, not a recent victim. But it quickly turns to dread when she receives her second heart-stopping call of the day–a little girl, Isla, has been kidnapped.

The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

Excellent book
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
That said, the vocabulary/prose is capable, the alternating perspective technique (First- Person to Third-person - and back again) works nicely, and the descriptions of life on the isolated island feel palpably realistic (excellent setting establishment).. this is a creditable novel.
The outstanding performance from Peter Forbes doubtless improves my rating of the book. His natural Scottish Brogue and spot-on Gaelic pronunciations contribute to the authentic feel of the story - making up for some of the deficiencies in the writing. Given a choice between a text copy of the book or this audio recording, take this one any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
I admit to having mixed feelings about this 8.5/10 star Audiobook. The quality writing and great performance make the book easily worth a download - but the lack of resolution of many, many plot-threads at the end of the book makes purchasing further books in 'The Lewis Trilogy' feel almost mandatory. Audible deciding to include Book One in the series as a 'Plus' option approaches the manipulative: presenting a book that acts as more of a "tease" than an entertaining distraction.
Provided you are willing to endure a ton of compulsion to spend some Credits (which you may or may not be able to resist), this biographical exposition disguised as a police procedural is captivating - can recommend.
Excellent Offering
