Jackson Brodie Reeks

Deze serie volgt de complexe onderzoeken van een voormalige politieagent, nu een privédetective, die zich een weg baant door zaken in heel het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Met de nadruk op menselijke relaties en het verleden dat nooit helemaal begraven blijft, bieden de verhalen diepgaande inzichten in de menselijke psyche. De protagonist bevindt zich vaak in moreel ambigue situaties, waarin hij niet alleen geconfronteerd wordt met misdaad, maar ook met zijn eigen innerlijke demonen. Het is een meeslepende lectuur voor fans van detectiveverhalen met een sterk psychologisch element.

    A BRILLIANT NEW LITERARY CRIME NOVEL FROM NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER KATE ATKINSON- JACKSON BRODIE MAKES A HIGLY ANTICIPATED RETURN Jackson Brodie has relocated to a quiet seaside village, in the occasional company of his recalcitrant teenage son and an ageing Labrador, both at the discretion of his ex-partner Julia. It's picturesque, but there's something darker lurking behind the scenes. Jackson's current job, gathering proof of an unfaithful husband for his suspicious wife, is fairly standard-issue, but a chance encounter with a desperate man on a crumbling cliff leads him into a sinister network-and back across the path of someone from his past. Old secrets and new lies intersect in this breathtaking novel by one of the most dazzling and surprising writers at work today.
