Description
Started Early, Took My Dog is the fourth novel featuring Jackson Brodie by the No.1 bestselling author Kate Atkinson, known for When Will There Be Good News?, winner of the Richard & Judy Best Read of the Year.
A day like any other for security chief Tracy Waterhouse takes a turn when she makes a shocking impulse purchase. That one moment of madness is all it takes for Tracy's humdrum world to be turned upside down, with the tedium of everyday life replaced by fear and danger at every turn.
Witnessed by Tilly, an elderly actress teetering on the brink of her own disaster, and Jackson Brodie, who has returned to his home county in search of someone else's roots, these characters learn that the past is never history and that no good deed goes unpunished.
Kate Atkinson dovetails and counterpoints her plots with Dickensian brilliance in a tale peopled with unlikely heroes and villains. Started Early, Took My Dog is freighted with wit, wisdom, and a fierce moral intelligence. It confirms Kate Atkinson's position as one of the great writers of our time.
