Death at the Sign of the Rook by Kate Atkinson (English) Paperback Book

Description: Death at the Sign of the Rook by Kate Atkinson Jackson Brodie returns! From the Number One bestselling author, a brilliantly clever take on the classic country house murder mystery; a homage to writers such as Agatha Christie FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Welcome to Rook Hall.The stage is set. The players are ready. By nights end, a murderer will be revealed.Ex-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off a bad case of midlife malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town, and the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting. But one theft leads to another, including the disappearance of a valuable Turner from Burton Makepeace, home to Lady Milton and her family. Once a magnificent country house, Burton Makepeace has now partially been converted into a hotel, hosting Murder Mystery weekends.As paying guests, a vicar, an ex-army officer, impecunious aristocrats, and old friends converge, we are treated a fiendishly clever mystery; one that pays homage to the masters of the genre—from Agatha Christie to Dorothy Sayers.Brilliantly inventive, with all of Atkinsons signature wit, wordplay and narrative brio, Death at the Sign of the Rook may be Jackson Brodies most outrageous and memorable case yet. Author Biography Kate Atkinson is one of the worlds foremost novelists. Her most recent novel, Shrines of Gaiety, set in the aftermath of the First World War, is a Sunday Times bestseller. She won the Whitbread Book of the Year prize with her first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum. Her three critically lauded and prize-winning novels set around the Second World War are Life After Life, an acclaimed 2022 BBC TV series, A God in Ruins (both winners of the Costa Novel Award) and Transcription. Her bestselling literary crime novels featuring former detective Jackson Brodie, Case Histories, One Good Turn, When Will There Be Good News? and Started Early, Took My Dog, became a BBC television series starring Jason Isaacs. Jackson Brodie later returned in the novel Big Sky. Kate Atkinson was awarded an MBE in 2011 and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. Review How delicious to have Jackson Brodie back, this time in a story that starts off in Agatha Christies world but soon becomes a landscape that could only have been crafted from the pen of the incomparable Kate Atkinson. * Ian Rankin * Promotional "Headline" DISCOVER THE NEW JACKSON BRODIE NOVEL, FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SHRINES OF GAIETY Details ISBN0857526588 Author Kate Atkinson Publisher Transworld Publishers Ltd Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780857526588 Format Paperback Imprint Doubleday Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience General Pages 336 Publication Date 2024-08-27 UK Release Date 2024-08-27 Language English ISBN-10 0857526588 Series Jackson Brodie Alternative 9781529919066 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
