Thunderstruck Erik Larson 3.5/5 Stars

Spoilers Ahead The summer before my junior year of high school, I read Erik Larson’s Devil in the White City. I prefer that story to this one. Both books have two main storylines to them – one I would deem the more classic historical aspect, and one that surrounds a mystery. In Thunderstruck, the former part surrounded Marconi and his trials and tribulations in…

Entry Island by Peter May ** A Review

#PeterMay #Mondayblogs

   5 out of 5 quills  A Review         Peter May has done it again and we should hold a parade because Entry Island is being released in the USA September 15th. A bustling murder mystery to be sure…but as Sime Mackenzie is called to the crime scene he experiences an almost debilitating deja’ vu.

Review: “Entry Island” Weaves Mystery and History Together

Allyson Floridia ’16 / Emertainment Monthly Staff Writer

It is a quiet lobster fishing town with little-to-no crime—until the shocking murder of James Cowell. The prime suspect? His wife, Kirsty. Sime (pronounced Sheem) is a detective assigned to the case.

Deanston Scottish Crime Book of the Year

Peter May has won this year's Deanston Scottish Crime book of the year for his Entry Island Check the library : http://goo.gl/tZyysB

When Detective Sime Mackenzie boards a light aircraft at Montreal’s St. Hubert airfield, he does so without looking back. For Sime, the 850-mile journey ahead represents an opportunity to escape the bitter blend of loneliness and regret that has come to characterise his life in the city. Travelling as part of an eight-officer investigation team, Sime’s destination lies in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Only two kilometres wide and three long, Entry Island is home to a population of around 130 inhabitants – the wealthiest of which has just been discovered murdered in his home. The investigation itself appears little more than a formality. The evidence points to a crime of passion: the victim’s wife the vengeful culprit. But for Sime the investigation is turned on its head when he comes face to face with the prime suspect, and is convinced that he knows her – even though they have never met. Haunted by this certainty his insomnia becomes punctuated by dreams of a distant past on a Scottish island 3,000 miles away. Dreams in which the widow plays a leading role. Sime’s conviction becomes an obsession. And in spite of mounting evidence of her guilt he finds himself convinced of her innocence, leading to a conflict between the professional duty he must fulfil, and the personal destiny that awaits him.
