Reviews"Hilarious. . . Agatha Christie fans will recognize the territory. . . Atkinson's funniest book yet." -- Minnesota Star Tribune "Harkens back to classic detective fiction. . . [Brodie's] sixth adventure [is] open to all - to Atkinson aficionados who will lap up this latest installment in the series, and to newcomers who can enjoy it as both a standalone work and a suitable entry-point to Brodie's world. . . Boldly original. . . Gripping. . . 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" -- The Boston Globe "[The] singular greatness [of the Jackson Brodie series] lies in Atkinson's celebration of coincidence and fortuity, her wayward plots whose threads become cunningly entwined, and, not least, her mordant wit. . . Atkinson's brilliant wit, dark humor and undimmed relish for human awfulness are still very much intact and are displayed throughout [DEATH AT THE SIGN OF THE ROOK]. . . Highly entertaining" -- The Washington Post "One needn't have read Kate Atkinson's five (!) prior novels featuring the wry, caddish, more-than-a-little-haunted ex-detective Jackson Brodie to delight in her latest. . . A very British caper, warmly funny and delightfully involving." -- Vogue "Deliciously witty. . . Atkinson keeps things fast, funny, and fair, delivering a twist-filled mystery that will stump armchair sleuths and a well-sketched supporting cast that's easy to fall in love with. This is sure to delight series fans and newcomers alike." -- Publisher's Weekly (starred review) "A treat for fans of the series." -- Booklist
