Death at the Sign of the Rook is Kate Atkinson’s sixth book in the Jackson Brodie series. Have you read any of the others, and if so, how does this one compare? What do you like most about the series?
I have read to books by Atkinson. Behind the Scenes of a Museum was a favorite. Life after Life had great character, but it was a little confusing, I bought the book
not know it was what it was. I did not like it until a couple months later. It was discussed in a friend book group. The incites of the member helped me apricate it.
This being said, I read to relax. I dont want to have to think to hard as I read. I really like the h use of humor in the book. I also like the way Atkinson uses words. I am glad I have now been exposed to this series. I will read more
I read Life After Life which I enjoyed. This was my first Jackson Brodie book, and judging by my reaction to it, I don’t think I will read any more in the series.
This was my first Kate Atkinson book … although I did not much care for it, I will try her first Brodie book as that seems to have gotten much better reviews.
I read Case Histories and was hooked. I love the way Atkinson takes readers down rabbit holes of each character, I appreciate the different POVs, too.
Heck, many of us break the law every time we get behind the wheel! There aren’t many out there who actually drive the speed limit.
That said, I think when a real crime is involved, people need to be very careful about how they obtain evidence since going about it wrong could allow a guilty person to go free. (I obviously watch way too much CSI.)
