Über diesen Titel

Brought to you by Penguin.

Jackson Brodie has relocated to a quiet seaside village in North Yorkshire, in the occasional company of his recalcitrant teenage son Nathan and ageing Labrador Dido, both at the discretion of his former partner Julia. It's a picturesque setting, but there's something darker lurking behind the scenes.

Jackson's current job, gathering proof of an unfaithful husband for his suspicious wife, seems straightforward, but a chance encounter with a desperate man on a crumbling cliff leads him into a sinister network-and back into the path of someone from his past. Old secrets and new lies intersect in this breathtaking new literary crime novel, both sharply funny and achingly sad, by one of the most dazzling and surprising writers at work today.

'The stand-out read of the summer. It's a masterclass in brilliant writing and whether you've read the earlier books in the series or not, you'll enjoy it.' Independent

'Like all good detectives, he is a hero for men and women alike.' The Times

'Laced with Atkinson's sharp, dry humour, and one of the joys of the Brodie novels has always been that they are so funny.' Observer

Kritikerstimmen

The main plot...is dark and disturbing, but Atkinson brings wry comic touches to the story as she both playfully inhabits and deftly subverts the crime genre.
Big Sky is laced with Atkinson’s sharp, dry humour, and one of the joys of the Brodie novels has always been that they are so funny.
Atkinson weaves a magically absorbing world full of crossed paths and coincidences. Her sublime turn of phrase, impeccable gallows humour, beautifully drawn characters and complex plotting make for a fabulously entertaining and moving book. It can be enjoyed as either a standalone mystery or a very welcome reunion with an old friend.
A masterclass in what can be done with crime fiction, brilliantly using the form to expose what Atkinson bleakly describes as 'one more battle in the war against women'.
Atkinson’s new mystery hits all the right notes
Atkinson brings back her much-loved PI Jackson Brodie for a tightly plotted tale...the real mystery here is the human heart, with Atkinson serving up an acute and believable look at the state of Britain today.
I romped through it: as ever, the plotting is clever and complex, it’s full of the dry wit Atkinson is so good at and it’s an absorbing mystery.
There's a lot going on here, all of it rendered with Atkinson's vastly enjoyable nonchalance...Atkinson tells a great story, toys with expectations, deceives by omission, blows smoke and also writes like she's your favourite friend. Thank goodness the long Jackson Brodie hiatus is over.
Atkinson throws in many entertaining diversions, and a fair few juicy red herrings… an exuberant, entertaining read…Atkinson’s work is always playful, and there’s a brisk, jaunty tone to Big Sky and much dry observational comedy.
The brilliance of Big Sky lies in its broad range of memorable characters, each with their own intriguing backstory.....sharp humour,sparkling prose and acute psychological insight.

Woran erkennt man, dass dieses Buch von Kate Atkinson stammt? An der kunstfertigen (manchmal auch ein bisschen gewollt kunstwilligen) Art, wie die Handlungsstränge miteinander verwoben werden, wie Gedankenstrang und direkte Rede ineinander übergehen, an der liebevoll gestalteten Miniatur-Biografie, die jeder Figur mitgegeben wird und an der feministischen Grundnote, die sich wie immer durchzieht. Man liebt seinen Jackson Brodie und will ihn so, wie man ihn aus den bisherigen Bänden auch schon kennt, und so kriegt man ihn auch. Dass die Atkinson dabei vielleicht ein paar Nebenstories zu viel hineingemischt hat verzeiht man ihr ebenso gern wie die moralische Schwarz-Weiß-Malerei oder den Zufall, den sie mal wieder über Gebühr bemüht hat, um alle Plot-Fäden am Ende zu versäubern. Ihre Motive sind sind ehrbar und das Produkt gute Unterhaltung . Schließlich ist das hier nicht der große Roman des 21. Jahrhunderts, sondern eine gute Räuberpistole für lange Herbstabende.
