A
brutal murder spawned by road-rage sets in motion this deliciously
complex and sophisticated murder mystery that is investigated
simultaneously by a police woman, an ex-cop, and a crime writer who is
in constant conversation with his fictional characters. Kate Atkinson
goes beyond the tropes of the whodunit, creating a fascinating array of
characters and delving playfully into the postmodern questions of
identity and reality.
