5/21/2023 0 Comments Case Histories by Kate AtkinsonThe last few chapters are fairly good as she wraps them all up, not neatly nor particularly skilfully, but at least to a reasonably satisfying level. The first three chapters of this are stunningly good, as Atkinson lays the groundwork to each of the three cases. These three cases from years ago are suddenly all brought to the door of ex-police detective and current private investigator Jackson Brodie, and he must try to find the explanations his clients are seeking while juggling his own messy private life. A young mother is driven to her wits’ end by her fractious baby and we all know what happens during periods of temporary insanity. A girl is murdered, seemingly as a result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nor fish nor fowl nor good red herring… □ □Ī child goes missing one night from the tent where she is sleeping.
