Jackson Brodie has just taken a small dog away from a man that had been
treating it brutally. He had been taking a break from searching for a
woman’s roots in Leeds. The woman lived in New Zealand now and was
wanting to find out about her parentage. Every where he turned in his
search, Brodie ran into dead ends.
He was to meet with a woman who had managed the case file when the New
Zealand woman had been adopted. She never showed for the meeting,
however Brodie did manage to find the file regarding the child on her
desk, which he surreptitiously borrowed. In it he discovered the name
of another woman who the case file manager was planning on calling.
As he continues with his investigation, Brodie runs into another private
detective who seems to be investigating the same situation. He also
encounters a woman with a child who is running away from something. As a
matter of fact, they steal his car from him? What is going on?
Author Kate Atkinson has several threads running through this novel,
however she neatly weaves them into a very good story. All-in-all, a
very good read.
