Description
Ex-detective Jackson Brodie is struggling with a bad case of midlife malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town to investigate what seems to be the tedious theft of a painting. But one theft leads to another, including the disappearance of a valuable Turner from Burton Makepeace, the home of Lady Milton and her family. Once a magnificent country house, Burton Makepeace has been partly converted into a hotel that hosts murder-mystery weekends. A vicar, a former army officer, impecunious aristocrats and old friends gather as paying guests, and a fiendishly clever mystery unfolds in homage to the masters of the genre, from Agatha Christie to Dorothy Sayers. With the stage set and the players ready, a murderer will be revealed by the end of the night. Inventive and filled with Kate Atkinson’s characteristic wit, wordplay and narrative energy, this new Jackson Brodie case combines intricate plotting with rich characterisation and may be his most outrageous and memorable investigation yet.
