The Blackhouse was first published in French under the title L’Ile des chasseurs d’oiseaux at the end of 2009 after being turned down by all major British publishers, and won several prizes (Prix des Lecteurs at Le Havre’s Ancres Noires Festival in 2010, the French national literature award, and the 2011 Cezam Prix Littéraire Inter CE.) The Blackhouse is also the first book in a trilogy, and I’m looking forward to reading soon The Lewis Man, the second in the trilogy. A book of a rare beauty that I’ve very much enjoyed. The descriptions of life and landscape are outstanding and I’ve found fascinating the scenes related to the Guga Hunt. All this can be found in this book and much more, even a love story. Or it may be for making us feel other’s feelings like jealousy, envy or revenge. Perhaps for its excellent prose capable of transporting us to unknown and far away territories of singular beauty. I find it difficult to explain why I’ve liked this book that much. The past events, as we can easily suspect, are closely linked to the murder. Macleod’s childhood is narrated in the first person. Those that take place at present are narrated in the third person. Upon his arrival to the island, the story evolves in alternative chapters.

Angus together with his younger brother were the school bullies. The second victim Angus Macritchie, a couple of years his senior, was from his home village.

To assist in the investigation, Detective Fin Macleod, the investigating officer of the first murder, returns to his birthplace after eighteen years of absence. The MO resembles the Leith Walk case which took place in Edinburgh a few month earlier.
