A Bit Bookish

Started Early, Took My Dog by Kate Atkinson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the first book I've read by this author. I don't read a lot of crime fiction, but what was interesting about this was the literary writing style. I also liked the character of Jackson Brodie (who has been called a Mr. Rochester for the modern age). Blunt and direct in his opinions, emotionally guarded, personally troubled, but with a loving heart and a passion to right wrongs. He has trouble with women (he loves them, but they baffle him), and yet he's very macho. I'm sure I would enjoy reading more of the series.
