Crime novel with a difference

I tried to read Kate Atkinson years ago and couldn’t finish the book. But now I’m hooked on her Jackson Brodie novels. A cast of well rounded characters and interweaving themes - with the detective story being part of a larger canvas - takes this genre to a more literary level. Although it has the serious theme of human trafficking, Atkinsons sharp sense of humor helps to keep perspective and entertain. I lapped this one up.
