I had never read any of Kate Atkinson's books before. She is an excellent writer. This audio book is an abridgement, but I did not detect any disruption to the flow of the story. After hearing this audio book, I checked on other books she has written. Apparently Jackson Brodie, the main character in One Good Turn, is also a character in some of her others. He is a very likable character - an ex-cop, ex-private detective, and new millionaire. He can't keep himself from being drawn into the mystery, murder, and mayhem around him. Atkinson lives in Edinburgh and the story is set in that area. I frequently do not enjoy stories written by writers from Great Britain, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The humor, idioms, etc., were easily understood and well-written. The reader of this audio book is Robin Atkin Downes. According to the cover, he is proficient in 40 dialects, and it really shows in his reading of this book! Frequently, British accents are difficult to understand, but not so here. His accents are great! Each character is distinct from the others, making the story easy to follow.
