Kate Atkinson

A Jackson Brodie Book

Death at the Sign of the Rook

The book was entertaining but the first half was a little bit boring. Chapters were dedicated to each characters present in the books to explain their relationships and why they find themselves all together at the end but it felt long and uninteresting to know this much about characters. it is my first book from kate atkinson and I don’t now if the other book from this series were written with the same pace but I found it a bit lacking in the background of Jackson Brodie who’s supposed to be the main character. Anyway the end was so well written and funny, I love every bits of it. The narration was funny and left me laughing and breathless sometimes. I enjoyed the book!

Nice twist but girl, I did not care at all throughout the whole novel. Not even for a second.

This upbeat slightly satirical style of prose that a lot of British detective (detective-adjacent) novels seem to be adopting is just not for me, I fear. It works on TV but makes me want to tear my brain out of my cranum in novel form.
