Death at the Sign of the Rook

The highly anticipated return of Kate Atkinsons' "irresistible" (New York Times) private eye Jackson Brodie, whose newest adventure pays homage to Agatha Christie in the newest installment of a series hailed as "unputdownable" by Time. Marooned overnight by a snowstorm is a cast of characters and a setting that even Agatha Christie might recognize - a vicar, an Army major, a Dowager, a sleuth and his sidekick - except that the sleuth is Jackson Brodie, and the 'sidekick' is DC Reggie Chase. Death at The Sign of the Rook is a brilliantly plotted, supremely entertaining, and utterly compulsive tour de force from a great writer at the height of her powers. The five beloved and critically acclaimed novels in her Jackson Brodie series have sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide.
