Aye Write 2025: Graeme Macrae Burnet and Francine Toon with Alistair Braidwood
Thursday, 6 November, 2025, 7.45 p.m.
Mitchell Library, North Street, Glasgow G3 7DN
Modern & Contemporary Fiction, Crime & Mystery
The host of the Scots Whay Hae! podcast, Ali Braidwood, chairs a discussion between two masterful mystery writers, each with their own tale set in rural Scotland.
In Benbecula, Booker-shortlisted author Graeme Macrae Burnet writes a fictionalised account of a real-life triple murder on the remote Hebridean island and its subsequent aftermath. A story of darkness, violence, and madness, lightened by moments of black humour and absurdity.
Meanwhile, Francine Toon transports her readers to a little corner of Fife in her new book, Bluff. Set amongst the ancient cobblestone of a Scottish coastal town, Francine blends the tension of a mystery with the chill of a modern gothic. This is a story where every shadow holds a secret, and every revelation brings her characters closer to a truth that could shatter their worlds.
