Edinburgh detective Fin Macleod is sent to his native Isle
of Lewis in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides to investigate a killing that’s frighteningly
familiar to another crime he recently investigated. Leaving behind a wife and
the memory of his young son who was recently killed in an accident, Fin resolutely
goes back home to face the events of the past that caused him to leave so many
years ago and not return. The Black House
jumps back and forth between the past and the present day in a slow but
methodical way as Fin works to solve the murder and come to terms with the
past.
This is a take your time kind of a read. The pace is slow,
the focus is on the characters rather than the crime and sometimes it seems as
if nothing is happening at all. But in the end it was all worth it.
