THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER


Welcome to Rook Hall. The stage is set. The players are ready. By night’s end, a murderer will be revealed.

Ex-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off a bad case of midlife malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town, and the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting. But one theft leads to another, including the disappearance of a valuable Turner from Burton Makepeace, home to Lady Milton and her family. Once a magnificent country house, Burton Makepeace has now partially been converted into a hotel, hosting Murder Mystery weekends.

As paying guests, a vicar, an ex-army officer, impecunious aristocrats, and old friends converge, we are treated a fiendishly clever mystery; one that pays homage to the masters of the genre—from Agatha Christie to Dorothy Sayers.

Brilliantly inventive, with all of Atkinson’s signature wit, wordplay and narrative brio, Death at the Sign of the Rook may be Jackson Brodie’s most outrageous and memorable case yet.

'How delicious to have Jackson Brodie back, this time in a story that starts off in Agatha Christie's world but soon becomes a landscape that could only have been crafted from the pen of the incomparable Kate Atkinson' Ian Rankin

'Christie would be proud . . . I defy you not to snort with laughter as the novel progresses to its farcical denouement. Atkinson is brilliant' Observer

'Sharp, droll and knowing as ever, Atkinson has huge fun with the set-up; the supporting cast is terrific, and the rueful Brodie, ever more mindful of the passing years, feels like an old friend.' Guardian

Atkinson has this wry humor I really enjoy, but the story here was not among my favourites. Anyway, I have always preferred her other work over these Brodie novels.

Loved her writing style more than the story

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.

Always well written and sometimes funny. Too much time on too many lesser characters instead of focussing on the main ones. Plot thin, consequently the need to fill pages with lesser character waffle.

Wandering and waffling

Too much waffling got confusing at times. Not as good as some other of the author’s works.

Disappointing

It is interesting the way the story builds. It is also very funny in parts.

An enjoyable book - with a lot going on.

I feel I've waited forever for another Jackson Brodie so can be excused for devouring this new book from the masterful Kate
Atkinson. I could have done with a bit more Brodie but the many other characters are superbly drawn and brilliantly brought
to life by the narrator Jason Isaacs. He should really take a bow. Several curtain calls in fact. One of the best performances I've heard. There's more amusement than suspense but definitely worth a credit.

Yes, he's back!
