Atkinson Fiction-Net Rating Cambridge
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. According
to another Fiction-Net reviewer,
Kate Atkinson has an "innovative
style" and her previous novel
Emotionally Weird earned a
respectable four-star rating.
Observant readers will have
already spotted that Case
Histories has been awarded a more
modest three-star rating. The
main problem is that it's just
too messy. Events are eventually
sort of connected but only
because the author has decided to
connect them before the book
finishes, not apparently out of
any logical link. Case

a peat and heather island off the
west coast of Scotland, Effie and
her mother Nora take refuge in
the large mouldering house of
their ancestors and tell each
other stories. But strange things
are happening. Why is Effie being
followed? Is someone killing the
old people? And where is the
mysterious yellow dog? Kate
Atkinson throws out a challenge
to her readers. She has broken
the rules but wants you enjoy the
rebellion with her. And I did.
The results are intriguing, funny
and effective. Emotionally
