MEDIA RELEASE
The library is hosting an Evening with Author Brian Barrie at the Tom Thomson Art Gallery on Saturday, June 22nd at 7 pm.
In the fall of 2023, Owen Sound criminal defense lawyer Brian Barrie released his novel Four Bullets, Four Witnesses, Four Liars: The True Story of Murder and the Trial That Followed. The book which explores a local crime story, was selected as one of the five books in the 2024 Grey County Reads program (www.greycountyreads.ca).
Four Bullets, Four Witnesses, Four Liars is a riveting true crime novel which exposes themes of mental illness, domestic violence, misogyny, and disability. It casts a light on how the Canadian justice system can further victimize those who are already vulnerable, while also laying bare the simple kindness and love that can exist between people, even in the harshest of circumstances.
Barrie has said that the case that inspired his writing, changed his perspective and empowered him in a way that no other case could. The public is invited to the Tom Thomson Art Gallery to hear more about the book on Saturday June 22nd. This event is free.
