Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

The fourth Jackson Brodie novel: literary crime from the prizewinning number-one bestselling author of Big Sky and Transcription.

A day like any other for security chief Tracy Waterhouse, until she makes a shocking impulse purchase. That one moment of madness is all it takes for Tracy's humdrum world to be turned upside down, the tedium of everyday life replaced by fear and danger at every turn.

Witnesses to Tracy's outrageous exchange in the Merrion Centre in Leeds are Tilly, an elderly actress teetering on the brink of her own disaster, and Jackson Brodie, who has returned to his home county in search of someone else's roots. All three characters learn that the past is never history and that no good deed goes unpunished.

Crime has given Atkinson the freedom to write an ambitious, panoramic work, full of excitement, colour and compassion
Atkinson's finest novel to date. Indeed, it's one of the finest British novels, in any genre, to have emerged for years...sharp and dexterous, subtle and stylish, very funny and at time extraordinarily cutting...This is very much a state of the nation novel - far sharper and more observant and satirically understanding than anything else out there at the moment. And yet Atkinson also gives us humanity, insight and entertainment...a story that deserves to be read for decades to come (Henry Sutton)
The wonder of Atkinson's novels has been their joie de vivre, extraordinary given the high incidence of violent death. An irrepressible exuberance shines throughout..folds past and present together with Atkinson's customary flair...extraordinary combination of wit, plain-speaking, tenderness and control
As ever, Atkinson's prose is diamond-cut to twinkle and slice by turns. Her playful sense of humour dances round the darkness of her themes. She skips through the difficult steps required to balance the reader's need for satisfying (and surprising) resolution with a realist's view of human nature and the messiness of real-life criminality
A wonderful stylist...but she was never confined to the crime genre, has written in assorted other modes and excels at them all. Whatever she goes on to write, she leaves Jackson Brodie at a suspenseful and pivotal moment. Future installments are well worth waiting for (Janet Maslin)

Have to admit I'm writing this review early - the story will be good, I can see that already, I really enjoy the Jackson Brodie stories, and although I prefer Jeremy Isaac's narrating, this guy is fine - except one thing. Would you not think, for the love of God, if faced with a name like Niamh and you didn't know how to pronounce it - would you not ask someone?! I was creasing myself laughing. Nyam, for crying out loud!! 😂😂😂😂

Nyam? Nyam?!!!! 😂😂😂

Love all of KAs books and this one is probably my favourite Jackson - wish he was mine, and the dog. Really intriguing plot - with the usual twist and an opening for his true love ....in the next book....please Kate.

Complicated but fun

I ploughed on through this book, because I have listened to all the other Jackson Brodie books and I wanted to complete the set. But at times, the narration was almost impossible to listen to. Aside from the fact that the reader had not even bothered to learn how to pronounce Niamh (not like it’s spelled) the emphasis was placed incorrectly in so many sentences that it verged on the comical. It was real ‘let’s eat grandma’ stuff.

Very Difficult Narration

Such a shame this wonderful book in Kate Atkinson’s series is ruined by the narrator. Found it incredibly irritating that the narrator couldn’t even be bothered to get the correct pronunciation of character names. Also often sounds like he hasn’t even thought about what he is reading from his intonation.

Poor narrator

Not one for you if you're after a fast paced thriller. The characterisation is, as ever, detailed and intriguing. The narrator unfortunately is not good enough to do this justice, so a bit of work and dedication is needed by the listener. Also I have no idea how no one pointed out, prior to release, that he has completely mistaken the name Niamh. Poor production values.
