There is no question that Macrae committed this terrible act. What would lead such a shy and intelligent boy down this bloody path? And will he hang for his crime? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Presented as a collection of documents discovered by the author, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHis Bloody Project\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e opens with a series of police statements taken from the villagers of Culdie, Ross-shire. They offer conflicting impressions of the accused; one interviewee recalls Macrae as a gentle and quiet child, while another details him as evil and wicked. Chief among the papers is Roderick Macrae's own memoirs where he outlines the series of events leading up to the murder in eloquent and affectless prose. There follow medical reports, psychological evaluations, a courtroom transcript from the trial, and other documents that throw both Macrae's motive and his sanity into question. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Graeme Macrae Burnet's multilayered narrative--centered around an unreliable narrator--will keep the reader guessing to the very end. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eHis Bloody Project\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply imagined crime novel that is both thrilling and luridly entertaining from an exceptional new voice.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53480701722897,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781510719217.jpg?v=1777551181","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-his-bloody-project-by-graeme-macrae-burnet","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
