Started Early, Took my Dog by Kate Atkinson |
Atkinson's fourth novel about former police officer turned occasional private investigator, Jackson Brodie, features stolen children, murdered prostitutes, lost loves, failing faculties, impulse acquisitions of dependents and assorted concatenations of events spanning some thirty years. Infused with a keener sense of melancholy than previous Brodie novels, and containing fewer neatly tied up ends, this one is nevertheless as witty, engaging and ultimately human as the rest.
