From the twelve-million copy bestselling author of the Lewis trilogy comes a chilling new mystery set in the isolated Scottish Highlands.

A TOMB OF ICE

A young meteorologist checking a mountain top weather station in Kinlochleven discovers the body of a missing man entombed in ice.

A DYING DETECTIVE

Cameron Brodie, a Glasgow detective, sets out on a hazardous journey to the isolated and ice-bound village. He has his own reasons for wanting to investigate a murder case so far from his beat.

AN AGONIZING RECKONING

Brodie must face up to the ghosts of his past and to a killer determined to bury forever the chilling secret that his investigation threatens to expose.

Set against a backdrop of a frighteningly plausible near-future, A WINTER GRAVE is Peter May at his best.

Critic Reviews

A Winter Grave is timely and chilling, painting a disturbing picture of the future . . . it's a meticulously researched thriller with gravitas that grips from the first page . . . May's first novel in two years is among the best he's written.
May has created a chilling believable near future . . . an atmospheric locked room mystery . . . this is as chilling as much for May's vision of where the we're heading as for the body count.
A gripping thriller set in a near future ravaged by the climate crisis.
A Winter Grave is a superb thriller loaded with timely warnings.

I loved this book. Fantastic narrative and narration. Set in beautiful Scotland in the future with all climate change has in store for us which was disturbing. Add in murder, mayhem, deceit, a life full of regret and you end up with a top class listen.
I could listen to the beautiful voice of the narrator all day!
Thank you

Another great book by Peter with an interesting slant, it being set in a future Scotland. Storyline was gripping and fast paced and certainly kept me enthralled and intrigued with the windy path it took. Great narration as ever too. So in all, really a no brainer to give this 5 big shiny stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
