Articles liés à A Murder Without Motive: the killing of Rebecca Ryle
Présentation de l'éditeur
In 2004, the body of a young Perth woman was found on the grounds of a primary school. Her name was Rebecca Ryle. The killing would mystify investigators, lawyers, and psychologists – and profoundly rearrange the life of the victim's family.
It would also involve the author’s family, because his brother knew the man charged with the murder. For years, the two had circled each other suspiciously, in a world of violence, drugs, and rotten aspirations.
A Murder Without Motive is a police procedural, a meditation on suffering, and an exploration of how the different parts of the justice system make sense of the senseless. It is also a unique memoir: a mapping of the suburbs that the author grew up in, and a revelation of the dangerous underbelly of adolescent ennui.
Revue de presse
'Honest, sympathetic, reflective this is true crime at its best. A striking debut from McKenzie-Murray, which pursues uncomfortable truths with candour and care.' --Damon Young, author of 'Philosophy in the Garden' and 'Distraction'
'McKenzie-Murray's adolescence is closely entwined with the crime, and his deep, thoughtful examination of the suburban male psyche is one of the many strengths of this remarkable book ... Insightful and eloquent ... His immaculate prose cuts cleanly through the social murk, and his clarity of vision renders the complicated ideas of male aggression and the ugly side effects of suburban malaise at once shocking and shockingly readable.' --Michaela McGuire, The Saturday Age
