Review:

Another Jackson Brodie thriller from the brilliant Kate Atkinson...the most enthralling to date. -- Mirror

Atkinson's pitch-perfect ear for dialogue is apparent...while there's plenty of blood and bitterness, redemption and resolve are well represented too. -- Independent

Faultless...plays with the tenets of the crime genre without ever sacrificing the essence of wit and nuance which make Atkinson's novels such jubilant reads. -- Scotland on Sunday

Funny, bracingly intelligent and delightfully prickly...Kate Atkinson is that rarest of beasts, a genuinely surprising novelist. -- Guardian

Gripping...Suspense is tinglingly maintained throughout...shot through with wry wit and gritty realism. -- Daily Express

Immaculately - even lovingly - paced...insightful, often funny, life-affirming. -- Sunday Telegraph

Book Description:

One of the most engrossing and brilliantly written novels of this or any year, by the bestselling author of Case Histories and One Good Turn
