GoodReads Monday

This weekly meme was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. It is now being hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. To participate, choose a random book from your GoodReads TBR and show it off. Which sounds easy enough until you have to decide how to choose that book! I think I will use a different way each week, like picking a color or number of pages. I will let you know each week how I chose the book and then something interesting about it, like how it ended up on the list or why I want to read it. Got it? Okay let’s get started.

I was looking up which book was next in the Enzo Files series the other day and was thrilled to discover that there is going to be a new book in the series coming out later this fall. It sounds like this might be Peter May’s last book, which makes me a little bit sad, but still so excited about this new book!

The Black Loch (Lewis Trilogy #4) by Peter May

Publication Date: September 12, 2024

Summary from Goodreads:

A MURDER
The body of eighteen-year-old TV personality Kathleen is found abandoned on a remote beach at the head of An Loch Dubh – the Black Loch – on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. A swimmer and canoeist, it is inconceivable that she could have drowned.
A SECRET
Fin Macleod left the island ten years earlier to escape its memories. When he learns that his married son Fionnlagh had been having a clandestine affair with the dead girl and is suspected of her murder, he and Marsaili return to try and clear his name.
A TRAP
But nothing is as it seems, and the truth of the murder lies in a past that Fin would rather forget, and a tragedy at the cages of a salmon farm on East Loch Roag, where the tense climax of the story finds its resolution.

I am so very looking forward to this one, as the Lewis books are so far my favorite series by Peter May. I have enjoyed all of his books, but I really like Fin Macleod and I’m excited that he is getting a new book. It hasn’t yet shown up on Netgalley, but my library has ordered a few copies. I am going to keep my eye out for it on Netgalley, especially for the audiobook, because I just love the narrator for these books. If you are interested here is a link to a Peter May’s website where he talks about this book and his possible retirement.
