Coffin Road: An utterly gripping crime thriller from the author of The China Thrillers

Product Information

But then, Glen and Jean are nothing if not strange, so perhaps that extends to their domestic idiolect. Ed incontriamo anche qualche nome noto, come l'agente George Gunn, già apparso nella bellissima Trilogia di Lewis, anello di congiunzione tra questi romanzi. As if I inhabit the body of a stranger, in whose uncharted waters I have been washed up in blind ignorance. His utility bill tells him so, and informs him that he resides at Dune Cottage, Luskentyre on the Isle of Harris.

The Lewis Man was shortlisted for the 2013 Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award (UK). This time, it is the Isle of Harris that is the featured spot in the Outer Hebrides, and it is once again a tale of depth as only Peter May can pull from these islands. It doesn’t sound very promising but I’ve taken that basic idea and turned it into a post-pending thriller that I hope takes readers through a big question mark at every turn of the page of ‘what’s actually happening?Coffin Road is best at the beginning, when everything is so mysterious, with the stranger washed ashore without memory. In the second chapter of the series, The Critic, Enzo investigates the murder of a celebrated wine critic in the vineyards of the Gaillac region.

Two days after finishing the book, I was still bothered by one scene and went back to peruse it again. DS George Gunn knows that a bludgeoned corpse has been discovered on a remote rock twenty miles offshore. I wont go into details of the plot as this would be a real spoiler but I will say it’s clever science based mystery.Which proved that what the neonic pesticides were doing wasn’t actually killing the bees directly, but killing their brain cells and destroying their memory. For Red River Seven he has switched styles and written near-future dystopian novel that crosses into action thriller territory. What was it like working with him on a subject that he’s obviously so invested in and passionate about? You have multiple aspects to the story, which you know are interconnected, yet you’re not quite sure how they interconnect. It is at this point (a quarter of the way through the book) that the third person narrative takes over as we meet Karen Fleming, a headstrong and belligerent seventeen-year-old living in a suburb of Edinburgh, impressively bright but rebelling against her mother after her fathers suicide two years previously.

I met Peter today in Waterstones in Edinburgh at a book signing event, and he signed a copy of ‘A Winter Grave’ for me. Coffin Road är som bäst i början, när allting är så mystiskt, med den främmande mannen som flyter i land utan minne. Craving a closeness no longer possible, she seeks out her godfather, Professor Chris Connor, her father’s closest friend. However… May had pulled me in with the book’s opening and I turned page after page until I finished it in a night.

Publishing’s obsession with shiny debuts rightly annoys veteran novelists who understand that practice makes perfect.

He was supposedly writing a book about Eilean Mor and the mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse keepers on that island in 1900, but he can’t find a manuscript or any related work. Uno studio ostacolato, condotto privatamente in gran segreto, i cui risultati rischiano di essere boicottati, perché la loro divulgazione desterebbe non poco scompiglio fra i colossi che speculano nel settore degli insetticidi. The only thing of interest Neal could find in the cottage was a map on which someone had highlighted Coffin Road.The embarrassing video that goes viral leaving misery in its wake is fast becoming a thriller cliche.
