This is the third in the series of Jackson Brodie. Interesting characters my favourite being Reggie a tenacious 16 year old who looks much younger. There're different crime stories that are interlinked and magically woven together. A surviving child, a murderer being released from prison, a train crash that leaves Jackson with amnesia and DI Louise Monroe investigating the crime(s). A fantastic read, funny in parts giving light relief, a light tone with a darkening plot, a detective story but so much more. Brilliant.
