Absolutely loved this book, a brilliant thriller set in a not to distant futuristic Scotland (but feels very realistic) with a huge setting on climate change, and really makes you think about the future! The research that Peter May put into this book was incredible, and would highly recommend! 🤩

Bonus was that I finished this book with the beautiful views of Loch Lomond! 😍

Crime story set in a scarily realistic, post-climate change Scotland. Plot is good, but what did it for me is the research he did into climate change, geology and the other technical aspects of a book. This made the setting scarily realistic and thought provoking.

Well worth reading!
