Jackson Brodie has relocated to a quiet seaside village in North Yorkshire, in the occasional company of his recalcitrant teenage son Nathan and ageing Labrador Dido, both at the discretion of his former partner Julia. It's a picturesque setting, but there's something darker lurking behind the scenes.
Jackson's current job, gathering proof of an unfaithful husband for his suspicious wife, seems straightforward, but a chance encounter with a desperate man on a crumbling cliff leads him into a sinister network-and back into the path of someone from his past. Old secrets and new lies intersect in this breath-taking new literary crime novel, both sharply funny and achingly sad, by one of the most dazzling and surprising writers at work today.

So I'm a huge fan of the author. I've not read all of her Jackson Brodie books but have read and loved all of her other books. This has been on my TBR list for ages mainly due to the author being a favourite and also the gorgeous cover. In this book, Brodie is no longer a cop but makes his living as PI. Of course, things are never simple for Brodie and he encounters a strange man on a crumbling cliff edge he finds himself embroiled in human trafficking and murder and bumps into someone from his past. Like other Jackson Brodie novels, Big Sky is really fun at times and really dark, a perfect blend of both.
