His Bloody Project

Adrian McKinty , who's recommendations I always put on my TBR list mentioned mcRae's last book [b:Case Study 57539677 Case Study Graeme Macrae Burnet https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1616819577l/57539677.SY75.jpg 90104103], but i decided to start with this one and I'm glad i did. The brilliance of this book is McRae's ability to mimic the various voices, from semiliterate protagonist, to pompous doctor, to court newspaper. So much so I did have to make double sure this was all fiction. A historically accurate portrayal of the life of a crofter in 19th C scotland.
