Cambridge is sweltering, during an unusually hot summer. To Jackson Brodie, former police inspector turned private investigator, the world consists of one accounting sheet - Lost on the left, Found on the right - and the two never seem to balance. Surrounded by death, intrigue and misfortune, his own life haunted by family tragedy, Jackson attempts to unravel three disparate case histories and begins to realise that in spite of apparent diversity, everything is connected...

I really enjoyed this. At times I was a little confused with the jumping between stories and had to work out who he was talking about again but I found it incredibly sad and moving. I loved the way the individual stories interweaved to come together nicely at the end. It really had me absorbed at the end and I prayed that I finished it before my bus finished its journey. Each of the characters and locations were so well described I could easily picture them. I never saw this when it was on the TV recently but I think it might be one that would be difficult to watch because I have it created in my own mind.

Leaving in the office staff room.

Putting it in the Community Library as the public libraries are closed due to the coronavirus. Don't worry it doesn't last long on paper. And LFL have produced a best practise guide if are still worried.

ETA - the community library has been changed into a food bank so this went to the LFL in Dalry Place instead.
