Kate Atkinson’s Big Sky
The fifth Jackson Brodie book finds Jackson . . . oh who cares about that, REGGIE IS BACK! And it’s ten years later and she's a police detective!! I mean, Jackson is also there, doing the private eye thing with his teen son in tow, and there's a human trafficking ring and ALSO a ring of pedophiles, so that is all pretty grim. I’m not sure this was a mystery, per se, but it’s interesting to watch all the pieces come together. And all of the POV characters are interesting, especially Reggie and the trophy wife of a local bigwig. (Give Reggie a spin-off series!) The framing sections felt a bit shoehorned in but I liked them just the same. I do hope to see more with these characters. A-.
