‘His Bloody Project’ by Graham Macrae Burnet
I really liked this book. It is a fictional story about a lad who kills, written using seemingly real documents, including trial transcripts and witness statements.
It’s set in 1869 in Scotland and follows Roddy, a 17-year-old boy, who commits a triple murder. He admits to doing it and the motive is clear. But is he insane?
Great novel. Well worth a read.
