Spellbinding ... Riveting, dark and ingeniously constructed. Edmund Gordon, Sunday Times.
Brings an extraordinary historical period into focus, while the multiple unreliable perspectives are designed to keep the audience wondering, throughout the novel and beyond. This is a fiendishly readable tale that richly deserves the wider attention the Booker has brought it. Justine Jordan, The Guardian.
An astonishing piece of writing... a voice that sounds startlingly authentic. --Jake Kerridge, The Telegraph.
Burnet proves that the undeniable pleasures of the crime novel can be combined with real literary value and an experimental narrative structure... Burnet is a writer of great skill and authority. Barry Forshaw, Financial Times
Gripping, blackly playful and intelligent, it deserves a space on the shortlist. It s one of the few that may set the heather and imagination ablaze. --Robbie Millen, The Times.
Graeme Macrae Burnet s His Bloody Project is a gripping crime story, a deeply imagined historical novel, and gloriously written all in one tour-de-force of a book. Stevensonian that s the highest praise I can give. Chris Dolan, Book of the Year, The Herald.
The Man Booker judges got it right: this really is one of the most convincing and engrossing novels of the year. David Robinson, The Scotsman.
A real box of tricks... a truly ingenious thriller as confusingly multilayered as an Escher staircase. Jake Kerridge, Express.
Riveting Mail on Sunday
"A historical revenge tragedy and courtroom drama... [are] at the heart of this masterful psychological thriller." Ian Stephen
"Masterful, clever and playful. It is every inch the riveting second novel I had hoped for." --Louise Hutcheson, A Novel Bookblog.
His first novel, The Disappearance of Adčle Bedeau (Contraband, 2014), received a New Writer's Award from the Scottish Book Trust, was longlisted for the Waverton Good Read Award and was a minor cult hit. Set in small-town France, it is a compelling psychological portrayal of a peculiar outsider pushed to the limit by his own feverish imagination.
His second novel, His Bloody Project, has been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2016. He is currently working on another novel featuring Georges Gorski, the haunted detective in The Disappearance of Adčle Bedeau.
