Took forever to find the tie-in between the four separate crimes. I stuck to it and finished.. so glad I did. The entire book from start to finish is a mystery. Gotta respect the reader that reads to the rewarding conclusion...

Not your average mystery here. I love this author for the way she pulls you in to the characters interior lives. The viewpoint shifts, the stories overlap but in the ways that real life does. This mystery is challenging for the reader but so worth it. Every book in the Jackson series is different. This is one of the best in the series and one of the best mysteries I've ever read.

Enjoyed how the book was about different mysteries but which had a common element. When I read the description I thought all were related, but, actually just one common element. Good writing style, kept me engaged from chapter to chapter.

Ingeniously plotted, full of suspense and heartbreak, Case Histories is a feat of bravura storytelling that conveys the mysteries of life, its inanities and its hilarities. It is a life-affirming work of profound insight and intelligence.
