Here is a new Jackson Brodie mystery by Kate Atkinson. In Death at the Sign of the Rook, we find Brodie trudging through a tedious case involving a stolen painting. But Brodie soon discovers this theft is but one of many, and the trail leads him to a dilapidated estate which has recently been converted into a hotel that specializes in Murder Mystery weekends. Naturally, during the weekend that Brodie is there, the blood is real and the case gets fiendishly clever. Atkinson knowingly winks at both Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers as she crafts a complicated whodunit that’ll appeal to fans of both the classic authors and fans of Only Murders in the Building and Knives Out.
