Jackson Brodie is back. I'd held off reading this one until I'd read the previous Jackson Brodie books from Kate Atkinson, but it can be read as a standalone. I love the way various storylines weave in and out until they all meet. It's beautiful storytelling. Jackson Brodie is on the case of a missing painting, which may link to a previous theft from a country mansion, which now hosts murder mystery weekends. The story is built up in layers, and is a fabulous read.
