The book reflects Peter May's use of Scottish history and the Highland Clearances of the nineteenth century's effect on the modern day murder on Entry Island in primarily French- speaking Canada.
Most of the one hundred or so inhabitants of Entry island are English speaking and all think the murder couldn't have happened to a better person than the victim. As is usually the case, the victim's wife is the most obvious suspect. The different directions that the investigation takes will keep the reader turning pages and trying to guess who the killer was. The wonderful writing style of Peter May combined with the backstory and the history aspect makes Entry Island another outstanding contribution.
