Tracy Waterhouse leads a quiet, ordered life as a retired police detective -- a life that takes a surprising turn when she encounters Kelly Cross, a habitual offender, dragging a young child through town. Both appear miserable and better off without each other -- or so decides Tracy, in a snap decision that surprises herself as much as Kelly. Suddenly burdened with a small child, Tracy soon learns her parental inexperience is actually the least of her problems, as much larger ones loom for her and her young charge. Meanwhile, Jackson Brodie, the beloved detective of novels such as Case Histories, is embarking on a different sort of rescue: that of an abused dog. Dog in tow, Jackson is about to learn, along with Tracy, that no good deed goes unpunished.

Jag kastar min över den då jag fick den i dag - der skall bli så spännande, och hur skall det gå mellan Jackson Brodie och Louise Monroe men det får jag aldrig veta - efter 2/3 av boken ger jag upp, djupt besviken.Den förtrollande, magiska, gnistrande berättarkonst hon visat på i de tidigare böckerna är som bortblåst förvandlade till doftlösa ord som faller platt till marken. Det är mer som att läsa en slarvig kombo av Ian Rankin och Peter Robinson grump grump grump , har Kate Atkinson turned into a grumpy old man,and I who used to regard her as a hell of a good freind of us women!
