Skillfully layering dark events with an ebullient tone, Kate Atkinson sets private eye Jackson Brodie on a merry-go-round of mysteries past and present in Started Early, Took My Dog.
Jackson is looking for his adopted client’s real parents when he crosses paths with retired cop Tracy Waterhouse, whose quiet, ordered life takes a surprising turn. Tracy didn’t go out that day intending to acquire a child, but that’s what happens when she encounters habitual offender Kelly Cross dragging a miserable little girl through a shopping mall. In a fit of do-gooder madness, Tracy rescues the child and suddenly finds herself on the run, pursued by murderers, police and Jackson himself—whose own investigation has stirred up a long-buried crime.
