Beschreibung
Alternate cover edition for One Good Turn
ISBN 10: 0552772445; ISBN 13: 9780552772440
It is summer, it is the Edinburgh Festival. People queuing for a lunchtime show witness a road-rage incident - a near-homicidal attack 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.
As the body count mounts, each member of the teeming Dickensian cast's story contains a kernel of the next, like a set of nesting Russian dolls. They are all looking for love or money or redemption or escape: but what each actually discovers is their own true self.

Not a whodunnit, more of a crime caper. I've enjoyed a number of Kate Atkinson's novel but this is the first of the Jackson Brodie's that I've read. It didn't grab me and I wasn't itching to know what would happen next. A bit "meh". But there were some funny lines.
