I don’t really like murder mysteries but I have enjoyed the other books by Kate Atkinson so thought I’d give it a go. I’m so glad I did.
A driver brakes to avoid hitting a pedestrian and is in turn hit by another car. This loosely links together a number of bystanders and the story begins to follow the lives of each of these people. The characters are ordinary people, some more interesting than others and some downright un-likeable. Each character has their own secrets which are gradually revealed. Although it is obvious they are all moving towards each other for the finale there are many twists and turns in the plot. Nothing is what it seems.
I don’t want to explain in more detail for fear of spoiling the plot. Read the book.
