Jackson Brodie, private detective, lives and works in Cambridge, where his services are much in demand: a jealous husband wants his wife followed, a girl has been murdered, another disappeared years ago, a nurse has lost her niece, a widow her cat. Meanwhile Jackson's own life is in a mess. This intricately woven story, full of suspense and heartbreak, is quite unlike Kate Atkinson's previous novels but I thought it was one of her best.
