Case Histories (used)

With Case Histories , Kate Atkinson invests the detective novel with a gravitas and emotional range that few authors are capable of. On one level, the interweaving investigation of three separate criminal cases by the maverick private eye Jackson Brodie is pure thriller heaven; impeccably structured, twisty and unpredictable. But there is also a more profound dimension to this incredible book, one that examines grief, loss and family dysfunction with a perceptive, generous eye and a big heart.
