Jackson Brodie, a private investigator and former police detective, is quietly contemplating life as a divorced father when he is flung into the midst of these resurrected old crimes. Julia and Amelia Land, long having given up hope of uncovering the truth of what happened to their baby sister, Olivia, suddenly discover her lost toy mouse in the study of their recently-deceased father. Enlisting Jackson's help they embroil him in the complexities of their own jealousies, obsessions and lust. A woman named Shirley needs Jackson to help find her lost niece. Amidst the incessant demands of the Land sisters, Jackson meets solicitor Theo Wyre whose daughter, Laura, was murdered in his office and, now that the police case has been closed, is desperate for Jackson to help him lay Laura's ghost to rest. As he starts his investigations Jackson has the sinister feeling that someone is following him. As he begins to unearth secrets that have remained hidden for many years, he is assailed by his former wife's plan to take his young daughter away to live in New Zealand, and his stalker becomes increasingly malevolent and dangerous. In digging into the past Jackson seems to have unwittingly threatened his own future.This wonderfully crafted, intricately plotted novel is heartbreaking, uplifting, full of suspense and often very funny, and shows Kate Atkinson returning to the literary scene at the height of her powers.]]></description><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1042548</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1042548</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Atkinson, Kate]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1042548033</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385671286/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[One Good Turn]]></title><description><![CDATA[Case Histories , once again featuring ex-cop turned private investigator Jackson Brodie. It is summer, it is the Edinburgh Festival. People queuing for a lunchtime show witness a road-rage incident and#8211; an incident which changes the lives of everyone involved. Jackson Brodie, ex-army, ex-police, ex-private detective, is also an innocent bystander and#8211; until he becomes a suspect. With Case Histories , Kate Atkinson showed how brilliantly she could explore the crime genre and make it her own. In One Good Turn she takes her masterful plotting one step further. Like a set of Russian dolls each thread of the narrative reveals itself to be related to the last. Her Dickensian cast of characters are all looking for love or money and find it in surprising places. As ever with Atkinson what each one actually discovers is their true self. Unputdownable and triumphant, One Good Turn is a sharply intelligent read that is also percipient, funny, and totally satisfying.]]></description><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C917285</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C917285</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Atkinson, Kate]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/917285033</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Jackson Brodie Series, Book 2</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780307373243/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Will There Be Good News?]]></title><description><![CDATA[The author of One Good Turn presents a mystery of suspense involving the unexpected intersection of three lives, including a woman whose life had been shattered thirty years earlier, an ex-detective on a crowded train, and a teenage girl who is called upon to test her preparedness.]]></description><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C699542</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C699542</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Atkinson, Kate]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/699542033</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780792758990/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Will There Be Good News?]]></title><description><![CDATA[On a hot summer day, Joanna Mason's family slowly wanders home along a country lane.
