About Graeme Macrae Burnet launches A Case of Matricide
From the twice-Booker nominated author of Case Study and His Bloody Project comes the final dazzling instalment in his Gorski Trilogy: A Case of Matricide. Join us for the launch of this extraordinary achievement as Graeme chats all things detection...
Chief Inspector Gorski returns:
In the unremarkable French town of Saint-Louis, a mysterious stranger stalks the streets; an elderly woman believes her son is planning to do away with her; a prominent manufacturer drops dead. Between visits to the town’s hostelries, Chief Inspector Georges Gorski ponders the connections, if any, between these events, while all the time grappling with his own domestic and existential demons.
Graeme Macrae Burnet once again pierces the respectable bourgeois façade of small-town life in this, the concluding part of his trilogy of Gorski novels. He injects a wry humour into the tiniest of details and delves into the darkest recesses of his characters’ minds, but above all provides an entertaining, profound and moving read.
