INSTANT INTERNATIONAL AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Iconoclastic detective Jackson Brodie returns in a triumphant new novel about secrets, sex, and lies Jackson Brodie has relocated to a quiet seaside village in North Yorkshire, in the occasional company of his recalcitrant teenage son and an ageing Labrador, both at the discretion of his ex-partner Julia. It’s picturesque, but there’s something darker lurking behind the scenes Jackson's current job, gathering proof of an unfaithful husband for a suspicious wife, seems straightforward, but a chance encounter with a desperate man on a crumbling cliff leads him across a sinister network—and back into the path of someone from his past. Old secrets and new lies intersect in this breathtaking new novel, both sharply funny and achingly sad, by one of the most dazzling and surprising writers at work today.

What a wonderful read. I love the humour. It's time to re-read all the previous Jackson Brody's in audiobook format, as earlier I only read the paperbacks. A pity though, that they aren't narrated by Jason Isaacs, for he's doing a great job on this one.
I love Kate Atkinson and Jackson Brodie, and was disappointed that Jackson was not featured more in this one ... while the subject matter was timely, this was my least favorite of the series. Lots of characters, not many of whom interested me.
