Coffin Road

I enjoyed Coffin Road by Peter May which is mainly set in Scotland.  A man has washed up on a beach on a small island and he has completely lost his memory.  He tries to find out who he is as people show him his home and he stumbles through not letting on that he doesn't know who he is.  A short time later a body is discovered on an island and the "no memory man" fears he may be a murderer.  It was a bit slow going with this main character narrating in first person.  Also a bit too incredible.  The next thread is the story of a 16-year-old girl whose father committed suicide two years earlier.  She has "gone off the rails" after this tragedy then she begins asking questions about her father.  The story is about bees and their vital importance to feeding of the human race.  This aspect was very interesting. 31/2/5
