One Good Turn
by Kate Atkinson
I've loved just about every Kate Atkinson book I've read. This one is the follow-up to Case Histories, & once again features sometime-detective Jackson Brodie. I generally shy away from serial mysteries, but this is so much more than a typical murder mystery series. Atkinson's emphasis is always on characterization, fun with language, and playing with plot in interesting ways. I especially enjoyed this one because it isn't as filled with dark, random violence as the others in the series. There's death & murder of course - but somehow you end up feeling it's all sort of justified! There's also a lot of things in this book that are just plain funny. I highly recommend this if you like well-written mysteries.
