One Good Turn
by Kate Atkinson
One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson
One Good Turn is another dark little book of set pieces featuring (former) P.I. Jackson Brodie muddling his way through a confusing web of crimes, relationships and mysteries. Atkinson manoeuvres her large cast of characters into the inevitably violent climax in which everyone looks around in confusion: "You? Here? Why?".
This book was a joy to read and moved at a rip-roaring pace, never outstaying its welcome. While not shying away from the bleakly disappointing world's tendency to kick us when we’re down, there are some chuckles along the way to keep the spirits up.
Lovely stuff!
