Bingeing on Jackson Brodie - this is no.2 and although quite different as good as no.1.
Julie is now Jackson’s girlfriend and the action takes places over 5 days in Edinburgh during the festival, where she had a low grade role in a low grade but avant-garde play.
The characters all interrelate in a brilliantly conceived narrative, beginning with a road rage incident in a crowded Edinburgh Street. Louise, the policewoman who becomes (almost I think) Brodie’s lover in no.3 is introduced (I had forgotten) in this one.
Much of the plot is about Martin Canning, the (fictional) detective novelist, who is brilliantly portrayed.
