Three unsolved mysteries occurring decades apart and its up to Jackson Brodie to see if he can solve them. Read Case Histories, the first novel featuring Jackson Brodie, by Kate Atkinson. 4/5: I enjoy books with more than one story line that I hope will all tie together in the end.

She has a very fluid way of telling the story where suddenly you'll look down and realize that 10% of your book just flew by! I really love Mia Sheridan's writing style. Just like with the first one, this book flowed effortlessly. But one page in and I was sucked right into the book. I have to admit though, after how "complete" a story Leo was, I was curious what else there could be to the story. You definitely have to read book #1 first because here you'll find references, details and reveals that you'd only know about if you'd read the first book. ![]() It is not a sequel and it is not a stand alone, but rather a companion novel to Leo that goes back and retells the same story but from the hero's perspective. So this book, Leo's Chance, gives that story. The story was told primarily from the heroine's perspective though and despite it reading very fluidly as a stand alone romance with a happy ending, we didn't see any of the hero's POV. It was a complete story start to finish that told a beautiful, emotional love story with a twist.

Having already identified himself as "his worship's ancient"-ensign,or flag-bearer-Iago links his profession and his duplicity to this place.These associations implicate Iago in a characteristically Shakespeareanconstellation of images that also references archery, Biblical representationsof the scandalous tongue, legends of centaurs, the history of the Moorsin Spain, and Christianized astrology. I must show out a flag, and sign of love, Although the Sagittary's primary identification iswith the newly married couple, we are also told that Iago "best knowthe place" (1.3.121), and in fact it is he who first introduces the name: Though I do hate, as I do hell's pains ![]() Through repetition, the text of Othello emphasizes forus an act of naming that might otherwise pass unnoticed as a rhetoricalflourish: Othello and Desdemona elope to a building called the "Sagittary"(1.1.158 1.3.115).

Coronation Street’s Nick and Leanne also ran off to Scotland to get married as teenagers in January 1998.

Not only was it the star of Channel 4 show Wedding Town in 2015, but Gretna Green also made an appearance in the final series of Downton Abbey, when Lady Mary considered the location for the Crawley family wedding. The area has become a celebrity onscreen in its own right, too.
