From the Number One bestselling author, a brilliantly clever take on the classic country house murder mystery; a homage to writers such as Agatha ChristieTHE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERDISCOVER THE NEW JACKSON BRODIE NOVEL, FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SHRINES OF GAIETYHow delicious to have Jackson Brodie back, this time in a story that starts off in Agatha Christies world but soon becomes a landscape that could only have been crafted from the pen of the incomparable Kate Atkinson Ian RankinChristie would be proud . . . I defy you not to snort with laughter as the novel progresses to its farcical denouement. Atkinson is brilliant Observer*****Welcome to Rook Hall.The stage is set. The players are ready. By nights end, a murderer will be revealed.Ex-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off a bad case of midlife malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town, and the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting.But one theft leads to another, including the disappearance of a valuable Turner from Burton Makepeace, home to Lady Milton and her family.Once a magnificent country house, Burton Makepeace has now partially been converted into a hotel, hosting Murder Mystery weekends.As paying guests, a vicar, an ex-army officer, impecunious aristocrats, and old friends converge, we are treated a fiendishly clever mystery; one that pays homage to the masters of the genre-from Agatha Christie to Dorothy Sayers.Brilliantly inventive, with all of Atkinsons signature wit, wordplay and narrative brio, Death at the Sign of the Rook may be Jackson Brodies most outrageous and memorable case yet.****Sharp, droll and knowing as ever, Atkinson has huge fun with the set-up; the supporting cast is terrific, and the rueful Brodie, ever more mindful of the passing years, feels like an old friend. GuardianDelicious character studies... fine writing, wit, originality and eccentricity - even as it induces a warm glow TelegraphAnother brilliant addition to her impressive oeuvre, Atkinson masterfully blends intricate plotting with rich character development, delivering a mystery that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging. GlamourThe set-up is a delight, paying homage to traditional Agatha Christie-style murder mysteries - the characters are well-drawn, their stories unfolding alongside each other until gradually the strands unite, keeping the reader guessing how they will ultimately tie together.
