DEATH AT THE SIGN OF THE
ROOK by Kate Atkinson is a novel featuring Jackson Brodie and was a LibraryReads Hall of Fame selection for September. Ever curious to meet new characters and knowing
Atkinson’s strong reputation, I asked for a preview of this recently published book.
I felt as though it meandered quite a bit and was not all that surprised to see
a Booklist review which concluded: “A lack of background about Brodie
could make this confusing for new readers, but it's a treat for fans of the
series.” I hope to go back and start at the beginning of Atkinson’s series
about Brodie as this is well-written. Interested readers will find more positive
insight from professional reviewers at NPR, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post.
