Kate Atkinson is one of the most celebrated authors in contemporary British literature. Her work effortlessly straddles the line between literary fiction and crime mystery. She won the Whitbread (now Costa) Book of the Year award for her debut novel Behind the Scenes at the Museum, and has continued to garner critical acclaim ever since.
Her Jackson Brodie series is beloved for its complex plots, coincidence-heavy narratives, and deep empathy for its characters. Unlike typical hard-boiled detectives, Brodie is a sensitive, often melancholy figure, and the mysteries he investigates are as much about the emotional wreckage left behind as they are about the crime itself.
