This is a great book. A bunch of seemingly unconnected stories come together in a book that kept me up late reading because it was so gripping. I highly recommend this book.

Another enormously enjoyable book from Kate Atkinson.Suspenseful, funny & fine storytelling.
An involving read that wouldn't let me put it down at all for the last 6 chapters. Read it in one weekend right after "One Good Turn" & was most pleased with the continuity of characters. Jackson Brodie leads a story into very interesting territory when he stumbles into the tale.And there are a few new characters that would be welcome news in a sequel as well. Very well drawn and relatable.
Left me hoping Atkinson continues his story for several more volumes (as she indicates we haven't seen the last of him) & hoping the next one comes along soon!

Story was ok, but I don't understand why everyone seems to love this tale.
