A review by manishakerai
Case Histories by Kate Atkinson

5.0

It's not often that I develop a book obsession, I remember being obsessed with Blatty's The Exorcist to the point of researching all I could about satanism and the priesthood, and I remember getting obsessed with The Fables series until I started hallucinating that Bigby was real. I loved this book, and I am ashamed to cliche that I devoured it. The pacing is perfect and Jackson Brodie is a very easy protagonist to fall in love with. He's far from perfect and has his flaws, but there's something very human not just about him, but about all of the characters. The best part of the book for me was the setting, Cambridge really came alive in Atkinson's hands. I look forward to reading more of Atkinson's books, especially the Jackson Brodie ones.
