One Good Turn: A Novel
Kate Atkinson
Back Bay Books, 2007
Great read!
+ A perfect piece of literature!
+ Convoluted mystery, told in a compulsively readable fashion.
I love Kate Atkinson, and this book does not disappoint. This is just an all around great read - great story, great pacing. It would be good to read Case Histories first so you can meet the characters, but the book stands on its own, as well, which I appreciate.
