Once again Kate Atkinson has created a novel with well developed characters (personal lives, too) and lots of twists and turns. This murder mystery is the second in the Jackson Brodie series after "Case Histories." It is in this story that Jackson Brodie meets Det. Sgt. Louise Monroe for the first time and they're reunited in the third book, "When Will There Be Good News?" This seems to be a theme with Atkinson because some of the key players in "Case Histories" show up in this second book, too.
Jackson Brodie has a great line in this book, "...And I don't believe in coincidence,.....A Coincidence is just an explanation waiting to happen."
As in her other two books, Atkinson takes a cast of characters seemingly unrelated and unfolds a tale that has them all connected in some way by the end of the book -- a fascinating read.
