ONE GOOD TURN: A JOLLY MURDER MYSTERY

Book ID/图书代码： 12844006B01175

English Summary/英文概要： It is summer, 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.

4本書各自獨立的故事，串聯起的懸案謎題

一個炎熱的盛夏，愛丁堡藝術節正展開，一群正在排隊買午餐的遊客目睹一場道路糾紛，旁觀者不知不覺都被牽連其中，似乎這是車主惡性策劃的謀殺案。作者鋪陳方式，猶如俄羅斯娃娃一樣，層層帶領讀者進入事件的核心，而這些被牽連的人，性格如狄更斯筆下的人物一般鮮明，因為隱藏不住人性的醜陋面，也難脫其身…。(Chris)
