The review every writer really wants 👇
Graeme's natural writing ability & his work ethic were very evident in his school days. More than 40 yrs later he's twice Booker nominated, his writing so enjoyed and admired yet he remains modest & grounded. A real pleasure for us to attend the launch of "Benbecula". Now reading

Almost finished Benbecula by @GMacraeBurnet and once again I am always amazed at the crafting of each word, sentence and paragraph. Another masterpiece, and I mean that.

Book of the year contender! #Benbecula by @GMacraeBurnet. An intensely written story of murder, grief and madness. Often as funny as it is dark. It reads like a classic. A book I will read and read again. Compulsive and utterly brilliant. I loved it.

I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY to hear that A Case of Matricide has won the @auscrimewriters award for Best International Crime Fiction! It's incredibly gratifying to get this recognition for the final part of the Gorski Trilogy. Huge thanks to all at @text_publishing 🥂🍾🥂
