"EXCELLENT... WITH ITS INTRICATE PLOT, COMPELLING CHARACTERS, AND BOMBSHELL DENOUEMENT, THIS UNSETTLING ENZO FILES INSTALLMENT IS A MUST-READ" --Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review
A crime scene frozen in time, a hostile local population, and a cryptic set of clues make this one of Enzo's most challenging cases.
In a fascinating development, Enzo learns that the man's study--the scene of the crime--has been completely untouched ever since. In the claustrophobic environment of the island's close-knit community, where the locals have no desire to see this painful case reopened, Macleod must try to find clues in plain sight that earlier investigators missed.
Complicating matters are the man's attractive widow, who yearns for closure, and a man who was accused and acquitted of having committed the crime--who still remains the best suspect.

"A retired researcher investigates a 20 year old murder of another prominant researcher that happened on a small isolated island off the coast of England and was never solved. Who would murder a man that was already terminally ill with cancer? " — Edna (4 out of 5 stars)

The author of the much-acclaimed China Thrillers surpasses himself here in misdirection, placing clues in plain sight and leaving the reader anticipating the fifth entry in this outstanding series.
" Although one of the reviews said "supassses himself here in misdirection" I knew whodunit fairly easily. Still a good read, in spite of terrible editing. "
" I would put this down for days and not want to pick it up again...so I didn't "
" Enzo Macleod Cold case Detective...sans abundant detail on autopsy. Mostly sleuthing (and drinking) "
" A multi-layered story with Enzo ferreting out secrets from the past. Very well done "
" How smart a detective is it who knows the message is in the study, but doesn't notice that a obsessively tidy man has shelved his encyclopedia out of order for 200 pages. "
" This is the last in this series. Enzo and characters are a delight. Good mystery and good plot development "
" Didn't particularly care about any of the characters. Lousy editing job, typos, sentences left out. Interesting premise for a series, but I won't read any of the others. "
" I thought I had it figured out until the end, and was surprised with the ending. A bit too much travelogue and social commentary for my taste. "
" Good mystery with an interesting twist or two. A new sleuth to follow. "
" First one I have read of this series, but it didn't hold my interest as well as I would like. Have to try one more before I consign the series to the dustbin. "

Peter May, born and raised in Scotland, was an award-winning journalist at the age of twenty-one and a published novelist at twenty-six. When his first book was adapted as a major drama series for the BBC, he quit journalism and during the high-octane fifteen years that followed, became one of Scotland’s most successful television dramatists. He created three prime-time drama series, presided over two of the highest-rated serials in his homeland as script editor and producer, and worked on more than 1,000 episodes of ratings-topping drama before deciding to leave television to return to his first love, writing novels. He has won several literature awards in France, received the USA’s Barry Award for The Blackhouse, the first in his internationally bestselling Lewis Trilogy; and in 2014 Entry Island won the Deanston’s Scottish Crime Novel of the Year and the ITV Specsavers Crime Thriller Book Club Best Read of the Year Award.
