A review by lambsears
The Blackhouse by Peter May

4.0

I chose this murder mystery for a little recreational reading and got a lot more than I bargained for. A simple (?) murder becomes a look at a culture I knew nothing of in a place where life is often harsh. I had never heard of this specific island, but now know it is part of the Hebrides. I was fascinated by the history of the place and the fact that they still speak Gaelic.
Strongly recommended for those that like a little meat with their murder.
