Highly recommended.About the Book This new novel from award-winner Atkinson is a breathtaking story of families divided, love lost and found, and the mysteries of fate. He's a man of great humanity, and he brings this to his cases. What sets Brodie apart a bit from some other detectives is the human touch. Everyone has secrets on "Case Histories." The acting is very good, but Millie Innes who plays Brodie's daughter is irresistible, a beautiful child as well as a good actress. He has sadness, too - his brother was killed, and the case has never been solved. Jackson Brodie is a likable character in the hands of Jason Isaacs - he's handsome, adventurous, and really tries to help his clients. In short, "Case Histories" makes for very absorbing viewing. The stories intertwine and have more than a few twists. The stories are dark and brooding amidst the glorious scenery of Edinburgh - absolutely spectacular cinematography. The series is based on books by Kate Allison.
Divorced, Brodie often takes his daughter on cases when he has visitations, and she's quick to tell her mother, "Dad beat up a man," and things of that nature when she gets home. This episode concerned a child who disappeared 30 years earlier, a young woman who was murdered years earlier, a woman engaged to be married attempting to find her niece, plus he's helping a paranoid old woman who never pays him. Jason Isaacs stars as detective Jackson Brodie in "Case Histories," which is a miniseries filmed in Edinburgh.
