This book is a gorgeous trip to the Scottish Hebrides justified by a boilerplate murder mystery that really wasn't the draw for me. What kept me interested was the evocative writing that transported me back to Scotland, and the narrator's lilting accent (do yourself a favor and get the audiobook, if you're going to do this).
I will say I would honestly give this a 3.5 - I found the “big reveal” to be not that big, honestly, and the author did rely a lot on twists and tropes that are common to psychological thrillers of this sort. But overall it was still enjoyable. I'm debating whether to continue the trilogy, though.
