The clever and compelling tale of a war-scarred journalist caught in the lives of a country rebuilding itself from one of the greatest chroniclers of our times, Kate Atkinson.
'An author who never lets you down' Reader's Digest'Atkinson is a novelist of unrivalled immediacy, authority, and skill' Financial Times'Kate Atkinson is simply one of the best writers working today' Gillian Flynn, global bestselling author of Gone Girl
It s the summer of 1951 and everyone is looking to put the dark days of the war behind them. The government s solution: The Festival of Britain, a celebration of the country s creativity, grit and ingenuity.
For foreign correspondent turned war reporter Harry Flynn, it might offer the chance of redemption after a bad war in the Far East and a peace that is proving no easier to negotiate. Having failed to resume his journalistic career, he reluctantly joins an oddball team of misfits, ne er-do-wells and downright chancers helping to ready the Festival of Britain for launch.
Flynn s attempts to resume some semblance of a romantic life also founder when one of his dates goes missing and he is deemed to be the last person to have seen her alive. Could he have been in some way responsible for her disappearance?
Little does he realize that the answer to some of his mounting problems may lie in the hands of a precocious, straight-talking thirteen-year-old called Veronica and a rather scruffy terrier who goes by the name of Mrs Betty

Året är 1926 och i Storbritannien håller man fortfarande på att återhämta sig efter kriget. London har blivit centrum för ett nytt och uppsluppet nattliv. På nattklubbarna i Soho trängs adelsmän, filmstjärnor och kriminella. Privata dansföreställningar säljs för en shilling, av unga kvinnor och flickor som drömmer om något större. En av dem är oskuldsfulla Freda, som har siktet inställt på att inta storstadens teaterscener. Tillsammans med sin väluppfostrade och naiva vän Florence tar hon sig fram i London, men verkligheten visar sig snart vara hårdare än de föreställt sig.
Den ökända drottningen i denna glamorösa värld heter Nellie Coker. Hon är hänsynslös och har höga ambitioner för alla sina sex barn, framför allt för äldste sonen Niven, som har förändrats avsevärt sedan han kom hem från kriget. Men framgång föder fiender, och snart visar sig hoten mot Nellies imperium komma både utifrån och inifrån. För trots allt glitter och all glamour så har nattlivet i Soho en baksida: det är en värld där det är alltför lätt att tappa bort sig själv.
Kate Atkinson slog igenom med I museets dolda vrår som belönades med Whitbread Book of the Year och har haft stora framgångar med flera av sina böcker, bland annat Liv efter liv och En gud i spillror.

The first Jackson Brodie novel: literary crime from the prizewinning, number-one bestselling author of Big Sky and Transcription.'An astonishingly complex and moving literary detective story that made me sob but also snort with laughter. It's the sort of novel you have to start rereading the minute you've finished it' GuardianCambridge is sweltering, during an unusually hot summer. To Jackson Brodie, former police inspector turned private investigator, the world consists of one accounting sheet - Lost on the left, Found on the right - and the two never seem to balance.Surrounded by death, intrigue and misfortune, his own life haunted by a family tragedy, Jackson attempts to unravel three disparate case histories and begins to realise that in spite of apparent diversity, everything is connected...Kate Atkinson, Sunday Times bestseller, September 2024

The second Jackson Brodie novel (after Case Histories): literary crime from the prizewinning, number-one bestselling author of Big Sky and Transcription.'An absolute joy to read...the pleasure of One Good Turn lies in the ride, in Atkinson's wry, unvanquished characters, her swooping, savvy, sarcastic prose and authorial joie de vivre' GuardianIt is summer, it is the Edinburgh Festival. People queuing for a lunchtime show witness a road-rage incident - a near-homicidal attack which changes the lives of everyone involved. Jackson Brodie, ex-army, ex-police, ex-private detective, is also an innocent bystander - until he becomes a murder suspect. As the body count mounts, each member of the teeming Dickensian cast's story contains a kernel of the next, like a set of nesting Russian dolls. They are all looking for love or money or redemption or escape: but what each actually discovers is their own true self.

Effie tells of her life at college in Dundee, where she lives in a lethargic relationship with Bob, a student who never goes to lectures, seldom gets out of bed, and to whom the Klingons are as real as the French and the Germans (more real than the Luxemburgers).But strange things are happening. Why is Effie being followed? Why is everyone writing novels? Is someone killing the old people? And where is the mysterious yellow dog?'Sends jolts of pleasure off the page...Kate Atkinson's funniest foray yet...it is a work of Dickensian or even Shakespearean plenty' SCOTSMAN'A brilliant and profoundly original writer' DAILY TELEGRAPH

THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERTHE NEW JACKSON BRODIE NOVEL, FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SHRINES OF GAIETY'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*****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.****'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‘Delicious character studies… fine writing, wit, originality and eccentricity – even as it induces a warm glow’ Telegraph'Another brilliant addition to her impressive oeuvre, Atkinson masterfully blends intricate plotting with rich character development, delivering a mystery that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging.’ Glamour‘The set-up is a delight, paying homage to traditional Agatha Christie-style murder mysteries – the characters are well-drawn, their stories unfolding alongside each other until gradually the strands unite, keeping the reader guessing how they will ultimately tie together. A great read.’ PA Media‘Superior writing...a highly entertaining read’ GraziaKate Atkinson, Sunday Times bestseller, August 2024

”Uppsluppet och sprakande om lekande lust och mörka begär.” Femina
”en sprudlande mix av kriminalitet och romantik” Allers
"Hon har djupet i personskildringen och bredden i miljöerna" Go'kväll, SVT
"Energin i texten, kvickheterna, liksom ömheten i varje karakterisering bidrar till njutbar läsning och god underhållning." Västerbottens-Kuriren
Året är 1926 och i Storbritannien håller man fortfarande på att återhämta sig efter kriget. London har blivit centrum för ett nytt och uppsluppet nattliv. På nattklubbarna i Soho trängs adelsmän, filmstjärnor och kriminella. Privata dansföreställningar säljs för en shilling, av unga kvinnor och flickor som drömmer om något större. En av dem är oskuldsfulla Freda, som har siktet inställt på att inta storstadens teaterscener. Tillsammans med sin väluppfostrade och naiva vän Florence tar hon sig fram i London, men verkligheten visar sig snart vara hårdare än de föreställt sig.
Den ökända drottningen i denna glamorösa värld heter Nellie Coker. Hon är hänsynslös och har höga ambitioner för alla sina sex barn, framför allt för äldste sonen Niven, som har förändrats avsevärt sedan han kom hem från kriget. Men framgång föder fiender, och snart visar sig hoten mot Nellies imperium komma både utifrån och inifrån. För trots allt glitter och all glamour så har nattlivet i Soho en baksida: det är en värld där det är alltför lätt att tappa bort sig själv.
Kate Atkinson slog igenom med I museets dolda vrår som belönades med Whitbread Book of the Year och har haft stora framgångar med flera av sina böcker, bland annat Liv efter liv och En gud i spillror.
