A Case of Matricide (paperback) Graeme Macrae Burnet
[trim]‘A very literary novel. Not only for the crisp prose it is written in, but also for the many literary allusions ¬within its pages … Burnet shows real mastery of his material, and it’s no ¬wonder his second novel, His Bloody ¬Project, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2016. This new offering is dark, but playful … a pleasing, if ¬disturbing doll’s house.’ Irish Independent[/trim]
