About this listen

*This audiobooks includes an audio-exclusive conversation between Peter May and Peter Forbes*

THE RETURN OF FIN MACLEOD, PETER MAY'S MUCH-LOVED HERO OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING LEWIS TRILOGY.

A MURDER

The body of eighteen-year-old TV personality Caitlin is found abandoned on a remote beach at the head of An Loch Dubh - the Black Loch - on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. A swimmer and canoeist, it is inconceivable that she could have drowned.

A SECRET

Fin Macleod left the island ten years earlier to escape its memories. 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.

A RECKONING

But nothing is as it seems, and the truth of the murder lies in a past that Fin would rather forget, and a tragedy at the cages of a salmon farm on East Loch Roag, where the tense climax of the story finds its resolution.

The Black Loch takes us on a journey through family ties, hidden relationships and unforgiving landscapes, where suspense, violent revenge and revelation converge in the shadow of the Black Loch.©2024 Peter May (P)2024 Penguin Audio

Riveting and atmospheric

The first three books enticed me to travel to the Outer Hebrides. On re-listening I could see the stories evolve in their settings. I am so pleased that there is this great addition to the trilogy. A riveting listen! Full marks for Peter Forbes‘ reading with his wonderful Scottish voice. Thank you.

The sheer brilliance of revisiting of stunning characters of The Lewis trilogy!

I have nothing but praise for the Black Loch. The writing is superlative and the marriage of Peter Forbes narration with a great story makes it an extraordinary experience.
Peter May is such a great writer!

The narrater just transports you to Lewis

There is absolutely nothing to disagree with on any of the Peter May books and I really hope we don’t have to wait too long for another Fin Macleod and George Gunn scenario. Have read all of my Peter May books and am now hooked on listening to Peter Forbes narrate them. Having been to Uist and Stornaway many times, like you guys say it’s like living in a film. Off to download all my enzo books and listen to them. Top notch listening thank you so much Peter and Peter

Black Loch

Wonderful writing and storytelling. Melancholy and joyfulness, intertwined with intrigue and plot twists . Have loved the trilogy and now the fourth addition. Hope there is more to come from Fin Macleod.

Peter & Peter

A brilliant written 4th Lewis book superbly read (as ever) by Peter Forbes. I was gutted to hear there may not be more books from Peter May. Please don't stop - they are so good.
