Fantastic detective story; although, it's as much a series of family dramas as a mystery. I was a huge fan of the PBS TV series and the book is even better. Jackson Brodie is a world-weary private detective with a selfish ex-wife and young daughter. The cases he works on are myriad -- from tracking what might be a philandering wife and a strayed cat to a 34-year-old missing child case and an unsolved murder. The people involved in each case are so detailed and believable. And not always likeable. There's an underlying dark sense of humor that's very appealing amid such serious cases. There are three more Jackson Brodie novels and I'm looking forward to all of them.
