I loved the cleverness and wry observations in this book; however the format may not appeal to some readers. This is a mystery story with 5 seemingly unrelated cases spanning 4 decades which are eventually linked together by one private investigator named Jackson Brodie. The cases are told out of order and seem to be random crimes, mainly about missing or murdered persons. The author's funny, quirky style often made me laugh out loud, even though the main crux of the story is some rather gruesome crimes.
