Big sky. Kate Atkinson. 2019.

Jackson Brodie has relocated to a quiet seaside village in the occasional company of his recalcitrant teenage son and an aging La Radnor, both at the discretion of his ex-partner Julia. It’s picturesque, but there’s something stark lurking behind the scenes.

Jackson’s current job, gathering proof of an unfaithful husband formthe man’s suspicious wife, is fairly standard-issue, but a chance encounter with a desperate man on a crumbling cliff leads him into a sinister network - and back across the path of his old friend Reggie.
