When what appears to be a minor traffic accident turns violent, a bystander intervenes, and things quickly spiral into a typical Atkinson pottage. This one also features Jackson Brodie, who bumbles from one scene to another as his never terribly believable romance comes unraveled.
Atkinson's characters meander through convoluted landscapes, trailing tendrils of coincidence that really do strain credulity. It's still a tribute to Atkinson, however, that she does keep the pages turning as readers try to winkle it all out before the final paragraph.
