Each time I pick up a book by Kate Atkinson, I know it will be a pleasure to read. Whether you are a fan or mysteries or not, Kate's stories will enthrall you. Jackson Brodie, her ex-soldier/cop/PI turns up again and all hell has broken loose. But he's not your main character - there's Reggie, the bright, determined mini monther's helper, Louise, the police inspector who's run across Jackson before and Dr. Joanna - call me Jo - past and present crime victim. Unlikely coincidence, wonderful sometimes black humor and even the great chapter titles add up to a wonderful book. I just love her stuff - more please!
