Fans of Atkinson’s Jackson Brodie series will rejoice that her smoke-and-mirrors detective is back after a nine year hiatus for his fifth outing in Big Sky. Atkinson’s novels eschew genre pigeon-holing and her ‘detective fiction’ is no exception. Readers will be eagerly anticipating the mix of fiendish plotting, twisting paradox and playful, inventive storytelling that makes her novels such a joy to devour.
Jackson Brodie, ex-military police, ex-Cambridge Constabulary, currently working as a private investigator, makes a highly anticipated return, nine years after the last Brodie, Started Early, Took My Dog.
Jackson Brodie has relocated to a quiet seaside village in North Yorkshire, in the occasional company of his recalcitrant teenage son Nathan and ageing Labrador Dido, both at the discretion of his former partner Julia. It’s a picturesque setting, but there’s something darker lurking behind the scenes.
Jackson’s current job, gathering proof of an unfaithful husband for his suspicious wife, seems straightforward, but a chance encounter with a desperate man on a crumbling cliff leads him into a sinister network - and back into the path of someone from his past.
Old secrets and new lies intersect in this breathtaking new novel, both sharply funny and achingly sad, by one of the most dazzling and surprising writers at work today.
