About this listen

The new start...

Fin Macleod, now head of security on a privately owned Lewis estate, is charged with investigating a spate of illegal-game hunting taking place on the island.

The Old Friend...

This mission reunites him with Whistler Macaskill - a local poacher, Fin's teenage intimate, and possessor of a long-buried secret.

The Final Chapter...

But when this reunion takes a violent, sinister turn and Fin puts together the fractured pieces of the past, he realizes that revealing the truth could destroy the future.

I love all three of the Trilogy. In this last one the surprises keep coming and just when I have figured it out. All the characters are believable and the narrator so good I could listen forever. If only there were a series following Finn and his life. Immense gratitude to Peter May and Peter Forbes that made these three books so thoroughly enjoyable.

Can't wait to read more about Flynn McCloud. A flawed human being with a sensitive heart trying to navigate his life. just like most of us.

Great listening.

I didn't find this as spell binding as some of his other books. I found my mind kept wandering and I could come back to the story and I hadn't missed anything.
