Summary
In the sequel to Case Histories, millionaire ex-detective Jackson Brodie follows his girlfriend to Edinburgh for the famous arts festival, but when he becomes an eyewitness to a brutal attack on a man during a traffic jam, he becomes caught up in a string of events that draw him and the wife of an unscrupulous tycoon, a timid crime novelist, and female police detective into the heart of deadly conspiracy. Simultaneous.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: It is the Edinburgh Festival. People queuing for a lunchtime show witness a road-rage incident - an incident 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 suspect. With Case Histories, Kate Atkinson showed how brilliantly she could explore the crime genre and make it her own. In One Good Turn she takes her masterful plotting one step further. Like a set of Russian dolls each thread of the narrative reveals itself to be related to the last. Her Dickensian cast of characters are all looking for love or money and find it in surprising places. As ever with Atkinson what each one actually discovers is their true self. Unputdownable and triumphant, One Good Turn is a sharply intelligent read that is also percipient, funny, and totally satisfying.
