A Winter Grave: a chilling new mystery set in the Scottish highlands

Product Information

Set in 2051, so not that far in the future, the world has undergone massive climate and political change.

It’s good that I make a habit of trying nót to read too much information and/or reviews before I read a book myself.It’s the year 2051, and the subject of climate change has been ignored for so long, and now it’s too late, with catastrophic changes taking place across the world. The amazing standard of writing made me feel as though I was there in the snow, hail, blizzards, up the mountains. Glasgow detective Cameron Brodie volunteers to fly out to investigate Younger’s death, but his ulterior motive is something else all together.

A chilling book, perhaps best read in summer as the descriptions bring to life the deep, deep cold of post climate change Scotland.Additionally, a lot of aspects of the future are a tad bit ill conceived which pulled me out a little bit of the realism, 11G phones? On a Scottish mountain Addie is checking the weather station the weather station for the latest readings. Alongside an absorbing and action-packed crime story, and the depiction of the potential impacts of climate change on the world, is Inspector Cameron Brodie’s deeply personal story, told through flashbacks to 2023. He is the creator of three major television drama series and presided over two of the highest-rated serials in his homeland before quitting television to concentrate on his first love, writing novels. After a slightly rocky introduction, Brodie finds that he gets on quite well with police pathologist Dr Sita Roy, and both are relieved when their eVTOL (electric helicopter) sets them down safely during an ice storm, in the blacked-out village of Kinlochleven.

A young meteorologist takes a work based trek up a mountain and is faced with a dead body, frozen in ice. The dynamic is further tipped when the detective investigating turns out to be the young woman’s (estranged) father who has his own personal troubles and time ticking for him in more ways than one. He received the USA's Barry Award for The Blackhouse, the first in his internationally bestselling Lewis Trilogy.No torn-clothed mothers, dead-eyed and directionless, dragging behind them their emaciated children. What she found left no room for doubt that he was murdered - and immediately put herself and Cameron in intense danger. This book is set in 2051 and climate catastrophe has arrived as it has long been predicted it would. Detective Inspector Cameron Brodie has a lot on his mind when asked to volunteer to travel to the West Highlands to investigate a body found in the ice, to establish whether a crime had been committed. I have always looked forward to a new a new thriller by Peter May and out today 19 January is his new standalone novel A Winter Grave (Riverrun) and based in the Scottish Highlands and there is clear climate warnings through this brilliant and very readable thriller.
