'Like all good detectives, he is a hero for men and women alike.' The Times
'Laced with Atkinson's sharp, dry humour, and one of the joys of the Brodie novels has always been that they are so funny.' Observer
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 literary crime novel, both sharply funny and achingly sad, by one of the most dazzling and surprising writers at work today.
_________
What readers are saying:

***** 'Sheer genius, with the characteristic thread of humour.'

This was a 2.5⭐️ read for me. I am not saying it wasn't interesting but the interesting bits were far less than the rest of it. The narrative was long winded and so boring at bits. I literally had to stop reading just to rest my head because I was just totally not into the story. The ending was mediocre at best and the end of the book was anti-climatic because of how she wrote the chapters. All the extra pages after the climax were so unnecessary I literally just skipped over them to the end. I don't think I will be picking up any more books from this author, it would take a lot of change for me to do so. P.s maybe reading the 5th book first is the worst idea. As for the actual plot line, trafficked girls, violence, sexual exploitation, drugs. it all featured just not in an interesting manner.
