Case Histories by Kate Atkinson

This book received lots of critical acclaim and praise, and sounded really intriqueing from the dust jacket. Three seemingly unrelated mysteries, one detective, and a twisted tale of family, death and honesty.

When you get to it, though, it's just really weird. Strange premise, stranger characters, uneven writing, and a constant feeling of being offkilter. I'm sure this novel is right up someone's alley, but unfortunately, not mine. I was initially intriqued, but found myself skimming and saying "let's just finish already!".

A lukewarm reception from me...
