Mer om författaren

Peter May was born and raised in Scotland. He was an award-winning journalist at the age of twenty-one and a published novelist at twenty-six. When his first book was adapted as a major drama series for the BBC, he quit journalism and during the high-octane fifteen years that followed, became one of Scotland's most successful television dramatists. He created three prime-time drama series, presided over two of the highest-rated serials in his homeland as script editor and producer, and worked on more than 1,000 episodes of ratings-topping drama before deciding to leave television to return to his first love, writing novels.In 2021, he was awarded the CWA Dagger in the Library Award. He has also won several literature awards in France, received the USA's Barry Award for The Blackhouse, the first in his internationally bestselling Lewis Trilogy; and in 2014 was awarded the ITV Specsavers Crime Thriller Book Club Best Read of the Year award for Entry Island. Peter now lives in South-West France with his wife, writer Janice Hally.

4.2/5

4/5
Fantastisk skildring av Lewis
Regnet, vinden, landskapet och öborna. En fantastisk skildring av en av de yttersta utposterna där skotsk-gaeliskan fortfarande lever. Perfekt bakgrund för en bra who-dunnit där svaret på frågorna om vem och varför leder en tillbaka till huvudpersonernas ungdomsår med flera villospår på vägen. Underbart språk dessutom. Läs den! Och om Lewistrilogin ger mersmak passa på och läs Coffin Road också.
