Fans of Peter May's 'Lewis Man' trilogy will love his latest romp through Scottish lore in 'Entry Island.' This one takes the reader out of the Hebrides and into Canada following forcible evictions of the Scottish people during the historical potato famine years. The story revolves around a troubled man from a future generation who recalls the hundreds year-old diary of his ancestor and the mystery that lies within the diary's pages.The author is known for his extensive geographical and historical research as well as the depth of characters that come to life as the reader turns the pages. This novel is no exception. As the main character roamed the Magdalen Islands I felt as if I were right in step with him traversing the well worn paths, feeling the wind in my hair and seeing every detail of the vista as surely the author saw and captured it so well on the printed page. Peter May has an uncanny method for blending fact with fiction that lends each of his tales a feeling of such credibility that I often wonder where the facts leave off and the fiction begins. For example, excerpts from the diary referenced throughout this tale are so completely charged with emotion and contain such intimate detail that I was convinced the diary really does exist and was not simply spun from the author's imagination. But then, that's part of the magic of Peter May.For hardcover book lovers who still enjoy the feeling of a weighty novel on the lap as I do, this one is sure to please at 534 pages. In spite of the heft and depth, I managed to get through it during a solitary, stormy weekend with the howling wind and driving rain providing the perfect backdrop to the story line. And just when I thought I had figured out who the murderer was, the tale took a turn down a different lane - a very satisfying 'whodunnit' on top of the history and geography lesson!Now that I have devoured this latest from Peter May, I do hope he is busy penning the final installment of the 'Enzo Files' series. I've only been waiting 3 years to find out whodunnit!
