#12BooksOf2024 September
I‘m always abuzz with anticipation for a new Kate Atkinson, and even more so when it‘s a Jackson Brodie story. She has never disappointed me. I loved this one in September.
Rissreads I think I might read this series this year. 💛 8h
TheKidUpstairs I haven't read any Jackson Brodie beyond Case Histories. Will that matter going into this one? Or should I catch up on the series before reading it? 5h

Andrew65 I still need to get to this. 1h
CarolynM @TheKidUpstairs I think it could be read as a stand alone but you will definitely enjoy it more if you‘ve read the others. 34m
TheKidUpstairs @CarolynM thank you! I think I might make it a project to catch up on the series this year before I read it. It's not a super long series, so I think I can do it! 32m
CarolynM @Rissreads It‘s a wonderful series, but remember that the “murder mystery” is only the device for telling a story about the characters. If you expect a gripping whodunnit you‘ll be disappointed. 31m
CarolynM @TheKidUpstairs What I just said to @Rissreads applies to you too 🙂 I think what she‘s really interested in exploring are the far reaching consequences of violence and the way the past affects the future. Plus a bit of understated social commentary. 28m
CarolynM @Ruthiella It‘s a great book🙂 26m
TheKidUpstairs @CarolynM I remember that with Case Histories. I really liked the more “literary“ character/societal study side to the books, rather than a traditional detective murder mystery (not that there's anything wrong with those!). I had always meant to continue the series, but never have, so this will be a good reason to get to it! now
