This book reads like a blending of a murder mystery and literary novel with a large cast of characters. Atkinson opens the novel with three cases: 1) a missing child from 1970, 2) the workplace murder of a young woman in 1994, and 3) the murder of a husband by his wife in 1979. Private detective Jackson Brodie is the element that weaves the stories together. Atkinson often inserts humor into dark subjects, a style that will appeal to some readers.
