Started Early, Took My Dog

Retired detective's impulsive act leads to dark truths.

"Started Early, Took My Dog" is perfect if you're a fan of stories where unplanned decisions spiral into complex narratives. Tracy's leap into unexpected parenthood intertwines with Jackson Brodie’s separate, yet thematically similar journey, creating a layered mystery. Kate Atkinson delivers a tale where every action unfurls vast, interlocking puzzles reflecting on our human impulses and the consequences they bear.
