The year is 2051, a frozen body is found by a meteorologist servicing their weather station, deep in the Scottish mountains. Protagonist DI Brody finds himself tasked with investigating how the body ended up there and why.
Rich descriptions make the vision of earth in the near future totally believable. The storyline is fresh and exciting with the crime procedural elements well executed. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning, questioning who could possibly be involved in the death on the mountain, as well as building a feeling a rapport with the characters. I really enjoyed the writing style and would definitely listen to more books by Peter May.
Really a wonderfully creative modern murder mystery, excellent!
The narrator is expressive and really suits the book well, elevating it as an audiobook.
