A compelling read from beginning to end. The modern mystery is very well sustained but the historical aspect gives one of the best descriptions of the experiences endured by those on Scottish estates with The Clearances who were shipped out to Canada. Grim doesn't even come close.Peter May's research is impeccable and he writes with complete understanding, bringing this sorry chapter of scottish history vividly alive through all his characters in a way that non fiction could never do.
