Lady, Recuperating, With Jackson Brodie

 

Happy to be on my lap; tired of not having the run of the house.

Lady, curled to catch the last sliver of afternoon light.

Reading.  Kate Atkinson's second Jackson Brodie novel is new to me.  And, this novel--like her others--demonstrates her unpredictability, her inventiveness, and her solidity as a novelist that any mystery, crime, or thriller writer ought to consider as a model.
