Book
Death at the sign of the rook / Kate Atkinson.
Kate Atkinson returns with this highly anticipated sixth entry in the 'Jackson Brodie' series. Marooned overnight by a snowstorm is a cast of characters and a setting that even Agatha Christie might recognize -- a vicar, an Army major, a Dowager, a sleuth and his sidekick -- except that the sleuth is Jackson Brodie, and the "sidekick" is DC Reggie Chase.

WELCOME TO ROOK HALL. THE STAGE IS SET. THE PLAYERS ARE READY. BY NIGHTâS 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 Jackson soon uncovers a string of unsolved art thefts that lead him down a dizzying spiral of disguise and deceit to Burton Makepeace, a formerly magnificent estate now partially converted to a hotel hosting Murder Mystery weekends.
As paying guests, impecunious aristocrats and old friends collide, we are treated to Atkinsonâs most charming and fiendishly clever mystery yet, one that pays homage to the masters of the genreâfrom Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers to the modern era of Knives Out and Only Murders in the Building.
Brilliantly inventive, with all of Atkinsonâs signature wit, wordplay and narrative brio, Death at the Sign of the Rook may be Jackson Brodieâs most outrageous and memorable case yet.
