![]() Her latest book, “ Life After Life,” is longer than its predecessors, and so is the interval. Other novels have followed at steady intervals. She knows exactly what she would ask: “to go back to the beginning of her life and start all over again.”īy the time “Case Histories” appeared, Atkinson had been a best-selling novelist for a decade, ever since her first novel, “ Behind the Scenes at the Museum,” won the Whitbread Prize in 1995 and became a smash hit. In one of those murders, a young housewife has impulsively killed her husband with an ax and sits with the body, miserably contemplating what wish she’d make if a fairy godmother suddenly appeared. The first of Kate Atkinson’s books to feature her private investigator Jackson Brodie, “ Case Histories” (2004), concerns three separate murders taking place in three different years, subtly braided together by a plot that Brodie must unravel.
