Kate Atkinson is just not for me. I keep wanting to say to her, "Ok now we've had a few pages of imagining / backstory so can't we just get on with it?"

This was a improbable tale. Could it happen? of course not. But sometimes that is what you want in a book. Something to suspend your disbelief; and give you a good time. We'll done Kate I enjoyed the time spent with you and your characters. I will read more.

Enjoy getting back to this series. Jackson Brody is an interesting character and KA spins an intriguing plot. Can't wait to start the next book in the series.
