" The Black House" scores points on many levels and Peter May is an accomplished storyteller. I expected to read a classic murder mystery but this novel is much more than that. In fact the murder investigation plays second fiddle and is merely there to enable the author to delve into his hero's past. It's a tale full of quiet melancholy as Finn's reminiscences force him to see the child he was and the way fate delivered blows which made him the adult he is. I found the author adept at recreating both the happiness and angst of childhood and the inevitable nostalgia they give rise to, once the character has become a grown-up and has to think back on all the defining moments of his life when he took a path that it might have been better to avoid. The landscape is masterfully depicted and the characters utterly believable. A tale that is both moving and cruel and that won't leave you indifferent. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Didn't quite meet my expectations *by T***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2019* Being a fan of Rebus makes it hard for me to find good misteries, I generally find them lacking in something that Rankin can do to a perfection (self-irony, characterization, social criticism, to name the most important ones). But he isn't a 'Rebus-factory', which is good, so time and again I need to look for somethin outside his oeuvre.The Black House isn't a bad novel at all, but I could't find any trace of irony, self-irony, or humour in it and this turned it into a tedious reading (maybe Gunn should've been given more prominence). Moreover, I found the Marsaili-Fionnlagh-line a bit of cliché.I also didn't like that we (readers) weren't given any clue until the two-third of the novel of what all the fuss was about, the word amnesia makes an appereance on the last pages when it could've been used to keep alive the readers' curiosity about the men's past.Now I think about it more, I felt being left out while reading the novel, and if that was Peter May's intention then I should've given him five stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most enjoyable. *by C***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 October 2019* One of the most enjoyable books I have read for a long time. A little different from most crime books but not rather annoying as I have found some other Peter May books which I thought depended on situation that were, at least to me, unbelievable (the couple getting separated in Glasgow Docks in Entry Island) or were factually inaccurate as far as the UK is concerned, eg having to carry a valid driving licence with you while driving as in Coffin Road --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/275092563-the-blackhouse-the-gripping-start-to-the-bestselling-crime-series](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/275092563-the-blackhouse-the-gripping-start-to-the-bestselling-crime-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
