Graeme Macrae Burnet has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize twice—for "His Bloody Project" in 2016 and "Case Study" in 2022. The Scottish author writes literary mysteries that play with form and unreliable narration. "His Bloody Project" presented itself as documentary evidence from a nineteenth-century murder trial; "Case Study" examined a controversial therapist through multiple perspectives. Burnet demonstrates that genre fiction can achieve literary sophistication.
