Normal Rules Don't Apply
What really binds these stories is their underlying theme, which has perhaps always been Atkinson’s true subject: the nature of storytelling itself. She can be very funny, but she is highly serious about the idea that human existence is bound up with words… If you’re thinking about what fiction means, no invocation could be more thought-provoking or ironically complex

Een donkere, stormachtige nacht
Detective Jackson Brodie, ingehuurd om een gestolen portret op te sporen, wordt voor deze zaak herenigd met oudprotegé Reggie Chase. Het spoor leidt naar een vervallen landhuis dat tevens het decor vormt voor geheel verzorgde Moordspelweekenden. In een stevige sneeuwstorm arriveren de twee speurneuzen bij het landhuis, samen met een dominee, een ex-legerofficier, de moordspelacteurs en het publiek. De elektriciteit valt uit, de wegen zijn onbegaanbaar en er is een veroordeelde moordenaar op de vlucht. Al snel hebben Jackson en Reggie andere zorgen aan hun hoofd dan verdwenen kunst. Een donkere, stormachtige nacht is zowel een eerbetoon aan Agatha Christie als een onvervalste Kate Atkinson: vindingrijk, geestig, hoogst vermakelijk, vol onverwachte wendingen en met de kenmerkende melancholieke humor van de geliefde Jackson.

Nacht über Soho
England 1926: In einem Land, das sich noch immer vom Ersten Weltkrieg erholt, ist London zum Mittelpunkt eines neuen, ausgelassenen Nachtlebens geworden. In den Clubs von Soho tummeln sich Adelige neben Starlets, ausländische Würdenträger neben Gangstern, und Mädchen verkaufen Tänze für einen Schilling. Im Zentrum dieser glitzernden Welt steht die berüchtigte Nellie Coker. Rücksichtslos und ehrgeizig kontrolliert sie die wichtigsten Clubs der Stadt. Doch der Erfolg schafft Feinde: Nellies Imperium wird von außen und innen bedroht. Da sind ihre sechs Kinder, die alle eigene Ziele verfolgen, rivalisierende Straßengangs, ein Mafioso mit guten Manieren und schlechten Absichten ... Und da ist Inspektor John Frobisher. Seine Mission: herauszufinden, was mit den vielen Mädchen geschieht, die im Sohoer Nachtleben spurlos verschwinden. Mithilfe einer jungen Bibliothekarin, die er in Nellies Clubs einschleust, beginnt er, der Königin von Soho das Leben schwer zu machen.
