The Accident on the A35 - Burnet Graeme Macrae

From the author of “His Bloody Projectâ€, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2016. There does not appear to be anything remarkable about the fatal car crash on the A35. But one question dogs Inspector Georges Gorski: where has the victim, an outwardly austere lawyer, been on the night of his death? The troubled Gorski finds himself drawn into a mystery that takes him behind the respectable veneer of the sleepy French backwater of Saint-Louis. Graeme Macrae Burnet returns with a literary mystery that will beguile fans of “His Bloody Project†and “The Disappearance of Adèle Bedeauâ€. Darkly humorous, subtle and sophisticated, “The Accident on the A35†burrows deep into the psyches of its characters and explores the forgotten corners of small-town life.
