thanks to alicia for loaning me this sweet read. it's about three "cold cases" and the private investigator that gets involved with all of them. a very nice mystery, and well-written. i liked the set-up a lot: the book starts with the three cases and ends with them, but the final pages, of course, reveal much more than the first did. i found myself actually surprised on more than one occasion, which is always nice in a mystery. i can't quite give it five robots, though, because there was some subplot stuff that i didn't really care about and found distracting. a solid four and a half, though. i may have to check out some of kate atkinson's other books, if i can actually manage to keep up my pleasure reading when classes begin in earnest.

i'm glad you (mostly) liked it! i have her book behind the scenes at the museum, which was pretty good, if you want to borrow that next. :)
