The highly anticipated return of Kate Atkinson's "irresistible" (New York Times) private eye Jackson Brodie, whose newest adventure pays homage to Agatha Christie in the latest installment of a series described by The Washington Post as "Raymond Chandler meets Jane Austen."
Marooned overnight by a snowstorm is a cast of characters and a setting that even Agatha Christie might recognize—a vicar, an Army major, a Dowager, a sleuth and his sidekick—except that the sleuth is Jackson Brodie, and the “sidekick” is DC Reggie Chase.
Death at The Sign of the Rook is a brilliantly plotted, supremely entertaining, and utterly compulsive tour de force from a great writer at the height of her powers. The five beloved and critically acclaimed novels in her Jackson Brodie series have sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide.
