One Good Turn: A Novel by Kate Atkinson follows Jackson Brodie, a former police detective, as he navigates a series of interconnected events set in Edinburgh. The novel opens with Jackson witnessing a violent incident on the streets—a man attacking another with a baseball bat. This seemingly random act of violence sets off a chain of events involving various characters whose lives are all unexpectedly intertwined. As the story unfolds, Jackson becomes embroiled in a complex puzzle involving missing persons, old secrets, and mysterious deaths. Through his investigation, the novel explores themes of fate, justice, and the unpredictable consequences of human actions.

Atkinson expertly weaves together a darkly comic narrative filled with twists, shifting perspectives, and multiple timelines. The plot delves into the lives of several compelling characters, including a young woman caught in a tumultuous marriage, a comedian hiding behind his persona, and a seemingly innocent bystander whose past gradually unravels. As each character’s story intersects, Atkinson’s writing delves deeply into their inner lives, revealing their vulnerabilities, motivations, and regrets. With a masterful blend of wit, suspense, and emotional depth, One Good Turn is a gripping exploration of human connections and the unexpected turns life can take.
