To save her life, Birdie must trace the dead man’s footsteps. And now the Filth will see her hang for his murder, just like her father. She’d seen him first the day before, desperate to give her a message she refused to hear. The city is soon alive with talk of the savage Esquimaux stalking Victorian London and an eye witness who claims the killer had an accomplice: a tall woman dressed in widow’s weeds, with the telltale look of the degenerate Irish.īranna ‘Birdie’ Quinn had no good reason to be by the river that morning, but she did not kill the man. In the grey mist of the early morning a body is dumped on the shore of the Thames by a boatman in a metal canoe. The Canary Keeper by Clare Carson (proof copy courtesy of Nicola at Short Book & Scribes) Kate Atkinson will be appearing at Henley Literary Festival 2019. Old secrets and new lies intersect in this breathtaking novel by one of the most dazzling and surprising writers at work today. Jackson’s current job, gathering proof of an unfaithful husband for his suspicious wife, is fairly standard-issue, but a chance encounter with a desperate man on a crumbling cliff leads him into a sinister network – and back across the path of his old friend Reggie. It’s picturesque, but there’s something darker lurking behind the scenes. Jackson Brodie has relocated to a quiet seaside village, in the occasional company of his recalcitrant teenage son and an aging Labrador, both at the discretion of his ex-partner Julia. Jackson Brodie, ex-military police, ex-Cambridge Constabulary, currently working as a private investigator, makes a highly anticipated return, nine years after the last Brodie, Started Early, Took My Dog. Big Sky (Jackson Brodie #5) by Kate Atkinson (audiobook)
