So, there is absolutely no question that Kate Atkinson
is a fabulous writer. This 2004 book is
the first featuring an ex-policeman turned PI, Jackson Brodie. Despite some aspects of the book being a
little too coincidental to be credible, I will be looking out for the next in
the series – One Good Turn.
Stephen King called it the best mystery of the
decade. Quite an accolade.
So there are 3 different cold cases. The detective also has his own issues to
grapple with. The struggle of he and
others for good is balanced out by the evil that lurked in the past. Don't expect everything to turn out happy.
I liked this one a lot. Somehow I never went on with the series. Maybe someday?
