Big Sky
by Kate Atkinson
It’s been almost ten years since we last got to spend time with private investigator Jackson Brodie. I loved getting to reconnect with him in Big Sky and was immediately reminded why I loved the earlier books.
It’s important to know going in that these books aren’t a fast paced roller coaster mystery. It’s more of a slowly unfolding deeply layered mystery.
For the first third of the book - we are following a variety of different characters without a clear path to see how they connect with each other - but little overlapping breadcrumbs. Then right around 35% into the book - we start to really see it coming together and I got really into it.
However, there were some parts for me in the middle that got a little slow and I kept wanting to get back to Jackson. I also didn’t love some of the resolution.
I would recommend this book if you love Jackson and are excited for a reunion! If you haven’t read the others in the series yet, I would recommend starting with the first book. While the stories can stand alone, I think you’ll get more from it having the background.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the advance reading copy in exchange for my honest review.
