“《广阔天空》中充满了阿特金森犀利、干涩的幽默，布罗迪小说的乐趣之一就是非常有趣。”(观察者)

“这是一本关于犯罪小说的大师课程，出色地运用了这种形式，揭露了阿特金森阴郁地描述的‘针对女性的战争中的又一场战斗’。”(星期日泰晤士报)
《星期日泰晤士报》风格：“阿特金森的新神秘故事恰到好处”

“这里发生了很多事情，所有这一切都与阿特金森令人非常愉快的冷漠表现在一起……阿特金森讲述了一个伟大的故事，充满期待的玩具，被忽略的欺骗，吹着烟，还写得好像她是你最喜欢的朋友。谢天谢地，杰克逊与布罗迪之间的长期中断终于结束了。”(纽约时报)

"Big Sky is laced with Atkinson’s sharp, dry humour, and one of the joys of the Brodie novels has always been that they are so funny." (Observer)
"Atkinson weaves a magically absorbing world full of crossed paths and coincidences. Her sublime turn of phrase, impeccable gallows humour, beautifully drawn characters and complex plotting make for a fabulously entertaining and moving book. It can be enjoyed as either a standalone mystery or a very welcome reunion with an old friend." (Sunday Mirror)
"A masterclass in what can be done with crime fiction, brilliantly using the form to expose what Atkinson bleakly describes as ’one more battle in the war against women’." (Sunday Times)
"Atkinson’s new mystery hits all the right notes" (Sunday Times Style)
"Atkinson brings back her much-loved PI Jackson Brodie for a tightly plotted tale...the real mystery here is the human heart, with Atkinson serving up an acute and believable look at the state of Britain today." (i)
"I romped through it: as ever, the plotting is clever and complex, it’s full of the dry wit Atkinson is so good at and it’s an absorbing mystery." (Good Housekeeping)
"There’s a lot going on here, all of it rendered with Atkinson’s vastly enjoyable nonchalance...Atkinson tells a great story, toys with expectations, deceives by omission, blows smoke and also writes like she’s your favourite friend. Thank goodness the long Jackson Brodie hiatus is over." (New York Times)
"Atkinson throws in many entertaining diversions, and a fair few juicy red herrings… an exuberant, entertaining read…Atkinson’s work is always playful, and there’s a brisk, jaunty tone to Big Sky and much dry observational comedy." (Independent)
"The brilliance of Big Sky lies in its broad range of memorable characters, each with their own intriguing backstory.....sharp humour,sparkling prose and acute psychological insight." (Daily Express)
"A stunning comeback... Told in Atkinson’s typically wry prose, it is Dickensian in sweep, utterly riveting and has a wonderful ending, quite magnificent." (Daily Mail)
