Book Club: Case Histories by Kate Atkinson

‘Case Histories’ by Kate Atkinson. ‘The protagonist here is a former police inspector who now makes a living as a private investigator. Jackson Brodie is making ends meet in a sweaty Cambridge summer and trying to deal with his own failed marriage. But if his life is adrift, perhaps Brodie can justify his existence via his belief that he can do some good for the people he encounters in his job. But he is to find that he will be irrevocably changed by those he is trying to help.’ This is a very readable novel, and if you like Jackson Brodie, there are three others.
