His Bloody Project was shortlisted for the 2016 Booker prize, the LA Times Mystery Book of the Year and the European Crime Fiction prize and won the Saltire Prize for Fiction. It was variously described as ‘astonishing’, ‘fiendishly readable’ and ‘spellbinding’. Case Study was longlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize, shortlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and included in The New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2022. Hannah Kent called it, ‘a novel of mind-bending brilliance.’ The Financial Times declared A Case of Matricide ‘a triumph’ and Eimear McBride called it ‘an incredibly fun, cleverly crafted novel that works on so many levels’.
Graeme’s work has been translated into over twenty languages and he has appeared at festivals all over the world.
