melissariggs 's review for:
One Good Turn
by Kate Atkinson
2nd in the series. As with the first, I found myself wanting to give up after trying to connect the seemingly random characters in each chapter. About halfway through, the loose threads start to come together and then it's a race to find out how to finish before 2 am!
"Two years after the events of Case Histories left him a retired millionaire, Jackson Brodie has followed Julia, his occasional girlfriend and former client, to Edinburgh for its famous summer arts festival. But when he witnesses a man being brutally attacked in a traffic jam - the apparent victim of an extreme case of road rage - a chain of events is set in motion that will pull the wife of an unscrupulous real estate tycoon, a timid but successful crime novelist, and a hardheaded female police detective into Jackson's orbit. Suddenly out of retirement, Jackson is once again in the midst of several mysteries that intersect in one giant and sinister scheme."
