To what audience would you recommend Death at the Sign of the Rook? Is there another book or author you feel has a similar theme or style
I would recommend this to people who like a slow burn mystery that makes you think a little. It won’t be for people who like fast past thrillers. You want to enjoy character studies if you pick this up.
I agree with Marybeth. But I would suggest that you read some of the other Jackson Brodie stories before this one to become familiar with him and some of the characters who have been part of his story before. He has lots of interesting friends!
I totally agree Cecelia! Knowing some of the characters was like seeing old friends—but I really love the new characters too—particularly Benedict, Simon the Vicar and Lady Milton
I hadn’t read any Jackson Brodie books, but I was able to follow this just fine. Anyone who loves great writing and old-school mysteries like Christie would enjoy this one.
Lady Milton was a wonderful and humorous character. I’d like to see her again.
