I have enjoyed Kate Atkinson's books before but I don't think her writing style worked in this genre for me. I was hoping that the cases were end up being more connected than they were and it was quite confusing at times, jumping around a lot in time and place. On top of this, I didn't particularly warm to any of the characters including Jackson. The plot did keep me guessing and there were some good twists but this was overall not one of my favourites.
