About this listen

WELCOME TO ROOK HALL. THE STAGE IS SET. THE PLAYERS ARE READY. BY NIGHT’S END, A MURDERER WILL BE REVEALED.

Ex-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off a bad case of midlife malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town and the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting.

But Jackson soon uncovers a string of unsolved art thefts that lead him down a dizzying spiral of disguise and deceit to Burton Makepeace, a formerly magnificent estate now partially converted to a hotel hosting Murder Mystery weekends.

As paying guests, impecunious aristocrats and old friends collide, we are treated to Atkinson’s most charming and fiendishly clever mystery yet, one that pays homage to the masters of the genre—from Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers to the modern era of Knives Out and Only Murders in the Building.

Brilliantly inventive, with all of Atkinson’s signature wit, wordplay and narrative brio, Death at the Sign of the Rook may be Jackson Brodie’s most outrageous and memorable case yet.

Critic reviews

"This novel sees Atkinson at her most playful. She impresses with her tightly constructed, satisfyingly complex mystery laced with Agatha Christie references, and with her observations of modern life and human nature. Best of all, though, is when the spotlight is on her protagonist. Brodie might have 'climbed to the wrong side of sixty' but he is still a force to be reckoned with and a compelling presence on the page."—Boston Globe

I loved it! I like Reggie and Jackson working together so hopefully there’ll be more of that. Also nice to hear Jason Isaacs narration. Will there be more of the television series? I hope so!!

Jackson Brodie is back!
