One Good Turn
by Kate Atkinson
I loved this book! The writing reminds me of Ruth Rendell and is every bit as good, with the characters' musings about life. They are at once very British and universally human. The plot is like a Spirograph, the way it loops around the initial scene and then starts looping further afield - but this is done so well that it actually helps the reader keep track of who's who. And then just when you're getting comfortable with how everyone is doing, crazy things start happening!
This is the second of a series and I really want to go back and read the first. It's hard to tell in this one that the central character is a British detective and I really want to see how he ended up where this one begins. If Susan Isaacs were sisters with Ruth Rendell, their mother would be Kate Atkinson (though this might imply some kind of time travel inversion or something).
