|
Atkinson's recurring character Jackson Brodie is one of the people in the story, but center stage is held by a young woman, recently orphaned, and working as a nanny for a doctor and her little son.
Plot includes a train wreck, a hidden stash of heroin, a mysterious disappearance, a deceased aunt, several cops, a patient and very realistically portrayed dog, a woman being stalked by a vicious ex husband, a couple of missing wallets, and on and on.
Atkinson's characters and her style of writing are certainly not in the
norm. Working in the third person, yet providing continuous glimpses into
what a first person narrative would provide, she keeps the reader on her/his
toes, and never disappoints.
