I think we can all identify the necessary components for the "construct your own Kate Atkinson doorstopper" kit by now: * gruesome secrets in somebody's past, to be unraveled as the story proceeds * abducted child(ren), past or present * enough bouncing around on the narrative timeline to induce whiplash in the reader * grisly deaths in the present * police officers behaving badly * aforementioned bad behavior presented in a shamelessly manipulative fashion to engage the reader's sympathy * a minimum of two simultaneous ongoing chase narratives, possibly more * shameless invocation of coincidence as a plot-furthering device * about four to six parallel plot arcs, at least two of which are basically superfluous and seem to have been included either (a) to keep the author from getting bored or (b) to allow the author to dazzle us with her virtuosity, or both (but see previous item, re shameless invocation of coincidence, which surely involves some docking of virtuoso points) * Jackson Brodie * Jackson Brodie's baggage - which now includes a dog, apparently, in addition to his all-consuming need to protect every woman on the planet All in all, this is not a very promising set of ingredients. But, for the fourth time in a row, Kate Atkinson has taken them and, with what we reviewers might refer to as "her signature brand of humor, keen intelligence, and flair" concocted an irresistible yarn. There's no way that it should work, but it does. In Entertainment Weekly, Stephen King is on record as being "staggered by Atkinson's narrative wizardry". That makes two of us.
