If I can uncover a long lost relative like Roddy and put together a compulsive and heart wrending story around the facts as Graeme has I’ll be thrilled. You must read the whole book, don’t do what I confess I often do, which is to skip the preface. Brutal moments, hidden undercurrents and stubborn survival instincts all described simply and in deserved prize-winning ways. Isn’t all fact just one person’s version of events? History is after all, HIS STORY, yes some feminists did want to change the word.Ī small town murder occurs, in true ‘TV detective Columbo’ style you know who did it, but you are still drawn into the tale. It’s brilliant and I’m guessing it’s fiction compiled around fact. Plot (or subject if non fiction): This aspect is confusing. Was he mad? Only the persuasive powers of his advocate stand between Macrae and the gallows. A memoir written by the accused makes it clear that he is guilty, but it falls to the country’s finest legal and psychiatric minds to uncover what drove him to commit such merciless acts of violence. A brutal triple murder in a remote community in the Scottish Highlands leads to the arrest of a young man by the name of Roderick Macrae.
