A man stands bewildered on a deserted beach on the Hebridean Isle of Harris. He cannot remember who he is. The only clue to his identity is a folded map of a path named the Coffin Road. He does not know where this search will take him.

A detective from Lewis sits aboard a boat, filled with doubt. DS George Gunn knows that a bludgeoned corpse has been discovered on a remote rock twenty miles offshore. He does not know if he has what it takes to uncover how and why.

A teenage girl lies in her Edinburgh bedroom, desperate to discover the truth about her scientist father's suicide. Two years on, Karen Fleming still cannot accept that he would wilfully abandon her. She does not yet know his secret.


Coffin Road follows three perilous journeys towards one shocking truth - and the realisation that ignorance can kill us.

A good pageturner and I just loved the setting on Harris - very visual ! Learned a lot about the importance of bees as well !

Going on a holiday to Germany. Happy reading

Thanks Kinedi, the book safely arrived in Frankfurt, looking forward to reading it 😀

Finished the book a few days back and though I wasn't sure about the story in the beginning it indeed turned into pageturner for me as well.
I really do enjoy Peter May's style of writing and look foward to one if his other books 😊
Now going on to a non BC friend 😊

The book is back from my non BC friend and will be released at tonight's meetup in Frankfurt.

Nice surprise - thank you, blu, for this unexpected gift !

I think I will start reading Peter May with this book, because the Hebrides are much closer to me than a canadian entry island :-)

It was an amazing story and so thrilling, that I couldn´t stop reading. Excellent book, thank you for sharing it!

Gave it to a non-bookcrosser friend, who also like british thrillers and stories
