Death at the Sign of the Rook
Death at the Sign of the Rook | By Kate Atkinson
Welcome to Rook Hall. The stage is set.
The players are ready. By night’s end, a murderer will be revealed. In his sleepy Yorkshire town, ex-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off boredom, his only case the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting.
But one theft leads to another and soon Jackson has uncovered a string of unsolved cases, including the disappearance of a valuable Turner from Burton Makepeace, home to Lady Milton and her family. Once a magnificent country house, Burton Makepeace has now partially been converted into a hotel, hosting Murder Mystery weekends.
As paying guests, a vicar, an ex-army officer, impecunious aristocrats, and old friends converge, we are treated to Atkinson’s most charming and fiendishly clever mystery yet; one that pays homage to the masters of the genre—from Agatha Christie to Dorothy Sayers.
