Benbecula

In July 1857, Angus MacPhee bludgeoned to death his parents and aunt on the Hebridean island of Benbecula. Five years later, Angus's brother Malcolm recounts the events leading up to the murders while trying to keep a grip on his own sanity. Graeme Macrae Burnet delivers a tale of dark madness, leavened by moments of black humour and absurdity.
