The Island is book two in the Fiona MacLeish series by G. N. Smith.
On an isolated Scottish Island in the middle of a storm, PC Fiona MacLeish had to find a missing child without the support of the mainland. In the middle of the search for the missing child, PC Fiona MacLeish had to save passengers on a sinking ship only to discover she had another case on her hands: the murder of the captain. Due to the storm, there was no way off the Island, so it became a race to find the murderer and the missing child. The readers of The Island will continue to follow PC Fiona MacLeish to discover what happens.
Because I have yet to read any other books by G. N. Smith, I had no preconceived idea about what this book is about. However, I enjoy reading books in this genre, and The Island did not disappoint. I engage with the characters and the story from the first page. I love G. N. Smith’s portrayal of his characters and their interaction with each other throughout this book. The Island is well-written and researched by G. N. Smith. I like G. N. Smith’s description of The Island’s settings, which allowed me to imagine being part of the book’s plot.
The readers of The Island will know about living on an isolated island off the Scottish coast. Also, The Island’s readers will understand the importance of looking after a community’s mental health.
Thank you to the NetGalley and publisher for my AR copy in exchange for an honest review. I recommend this book.
