Like so many noir investigators, Brodie has always had a problem with alcohol and women, with whom he has always looked for escape from some of the underlying miseries of his life. In the course of the three previous novels ( Case Histories, One Good Turn, and When Will There Be Good News), Jackson Brodie has become a broader character, and in this one, his inner life is at least as important as the plot with which it intersects. Though they are often called “mysteries” because the main character, Jackson Brodie, is a private investigator, Atkinson’s novels are far more character-driven than the norm, and more literary in execution–intriguing on several levels simultaneously. Howeve r good Kate Atkinson’s three previous Jackson Brodie novels have been, they were just the warm-up for this one. (Emily’s odd punctuation, capitalization, and formatting did not meet with standard publishing “approval” for earlier editions.) There is a whimsical nature to many of her poems, although the subject of death was the most frequent recurring theme.“Everyone has a killer inside them just waiting to get out, some more patient than others.”
Only seven of her poems were published during her lifetime, and virtually none were published as originally written until the mid 1950s.
A r ecluse who almost always wore white, Emily was born to a prominent Massachusetts family and spent the bulk of her life inside her home in Amherst.
