This is the second Jackson Brodie book from Kate Atkinson, the first one being Case Histories. The story was good, in fact very good. The way she is able to weave a various number of seemingly unrelated characters into a plausible mystery/plot is exemplary. And I LOVED the ending. It was a gotcha/aha moment. My only complaint about this book is it's editing. There are people or events thrown in that needn't have been in the book at all. The first 100 pages are a bit of a challenge and one may even have to make a list of all the characters to keep everything straight. After 100 pages the book took off for me.
