Recensione:
L'autore:
Highly accomplished, The Accident on the A35 works on several levels... The narration has the simple momentum of classic crime writing... It has a denouement like something out of Greek tragedy but delivers as a proper police procedural too... Burnet s cleverness doesn t get in the way of your enjoyment but playfully adds levels of meaning. Anthony Cummins, Observer
[A] truly superlative tale... fascinating... one of the most clever and compelling novels to be published this year. Lesley McDowell, Herald
As steeped in the works of Simenon as a good boeuf bourgignon is in red wine. The characters pretensions are mercilessly exposed in frill-free prose... What matters, of course, is whether a novel s characters seem to the reader to be alive. Burnet s do. --Jake Kerridge, Daily Telegraph
There are so many echoes of French writers in this book... [Raymond] is a fantastic depiction of the typical alienated teenager. Alex Clark, BBC Radio 4 Open Book
Simenon fans will feel at home in the claustrophobic and petty-minded atmosphere of the French provinces. Times and Sunday Times Crime Club Picks of the Month
Graeme Macrae Burnet's best book yet. A unique and compelling novel...[It] works perfectly as a page-turning crime fiction, but it s also moody and Gallic and wittily deadly serious. --Chris Dolan
Fans of His Bloody Project will [enjoy] familiar themes including questions of authorship, betrayal, family, love, death, truth and lies (or rather, what can be said to be true, if anything, and what is false?), and the possibilities of youth versus the reality of adulthood. Alistair Braidwood, Scots Whay Hae
Elegant, craftily written and frequently funny. Phil Miller, Herald
Clever, meandering and oh, so French... Burnet really has a rare thing nowadays a novelist s eye... I confess myself seduced by the atmosphere of provincial ennui. I longed to shrug gallically at a detective through a haze of cigarette smoke, to pour myself a drink from a cut-glass decanter, to drive to the next town to make acrobatic love to a beautiful...I m getting carried away. --James Marriott, Times
Graeme Macrae Burnet is one of Scotland's brightest literary talents. His second novel, His Bloody Project, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2016, won the Saltire Society Fiction Book of the Year Award 2016, and has been shortlisted for the LA Times Book Awards 2016. It has been published around the world. Graeme's first novel, The Disappearance of Adele Bedeau (Contraband, 2014), was longlisted for the Waverton Good Read Award and was a cult hit.
