About this item
In Kate Atkinson's latest novel, The Last Best Day, the beloved private eye Jackson Brodie makes a triumphant return in a mystery that blends classic charm with modern intrigue. This highly anticipated addition to the Jackson Brodie series begins in the quaint Yorkshire town where Jackson is grappling with boredom and an unremarkable case—a stolen painting.
As Jackson delves deeper into the seemingly mundane theft, he uncovers a pattern of unsolved art crimes that pull him into a labyrinth of deception and disguise. His investigation leads him to Rook Hall, a once-grand estate now partially transformed into a hotel that hosts Murder Mystery weekends. Here, amidst a backdrop of old friends, cash-strapped aristocrats, and dramatic reenactments, the stage is set for a murder that will reveal more than just a killer.
Atkinson’s novel is a delightful homage to the classic mystery genre, reminiscent of the works of Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, while also echoing the modern twists of Knives Out and Only Murders in the Building. With her trademark wit and intricate plotting, Atkinson crafts a story filled with charming characters and fiendishly clever twists.
The Last Best Day promises to captivate fans old and new with its blend of nostalgic mystery and contemporary flair, solidifying Jackson Brodie’s place as one of the most engaging detectives in modern crime fiction.
