THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. DISCOVER THE NEW JACKSON BRODIE NOVEL, FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SHRINES OF GAIETY'How delicious to have Jackson Brodie back, this time in a story that starts off in Agatha Christie's world but soon becomes a landscape that could only have been crafted from the pen of the incomparable Kate Atkinson' Ian Rankin'Christie would be proud . . . I defy you not to snort with laughter as the novel progresses to its farcical denouement. Atkinson is brilliant' Observer*****Welcome to Rook Hall.

The stage is set. The players are ready. By night’s end, a murderer will be revealed.

Ex-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off a bad case of midlife malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town, and the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting.

But one theft leads to another, including the disappearance of a valuable Turner from Burton Makepeace, home to Lady Milton and her family.

Once a magnificent country house, Burton Makepeace has now partially been converted into a hotel, hosting Murder Mystery weekends.

As paying guests, a vicar, an ex-army officer, impecunious aristocrats, and old friends converge, we are treated a fiendishly clever mystery; one that pays homage to the masters of the genre—from Agatha Christie to Dorothy Sayers.

Brilliantly inventive, with all of Atkinson’s signature wit, wordplay and narrative brio, Death at the Sign of the Rook may be Jackson Brodie’s most outrageous and memorable case yet.

****'Sharp, droll and knowing as ever, Atkinson has huge fun with the set-up; the supporting cast is terrific, and the rueful Brodie, ever more mindful of the passing years, feels like an old friend.' Guardian‘Delicious character studies… fine writing, wit, originality and eccentricity – even as it induces a warm glow’ Telegraph'Another brilliant addition to her impressive oeuvre, Atkinson masterfully blends intricate plotting with rich character development, delivering a mystery that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging.’ Glamour‘The set-up is a delight, paying homage to traditional Agatha Christie-style murder mysteries – the characters are well-drawn, their stories unfolding alongside each other until gradually the strands unite, keeping the reader guessing how they will ultimately tie together. A great read.’ PA Media‘Superior writing...a highly entertaining read’ GraziaKate Atkinson, Sunday Times bestseller, August 2024

Simple and Straightforward Wrist Rest
Size: 60% Compact
There's not much to write home about here other than it suits the purposes I purchased it for. This accompanies my K629-RGB Redragon keyboard. It lines up pretty well with the keyboard, and the rest itself makes a nice incline between my desk surface and the keyboard. The padding isn't too plush and is pretty good at providing wrist support. It's also been very good at holding its shape despite the pressure that my wrists have put in the same spot over the last few months; the padding is even across the entire wrist rest as a result. I've noticed that my hand doesn't cramp as much when typing for long periods of time with this rest, so it's doing exactly what I would expect for the ergonomics of my keyboard. One downside is that it's prone to develop sweat marks where you rest your palms. It can't really be wiped away, given that it gets absorbed over time. I would say that if you are concerned with the appearance of the product, you may want to look into a plastic rest instead. I personally don't find this to be much of an issue since the pad is black, and you can only see the marks at certain angles, but I can understand if that's a dealbreaker for some. Otherwise, the rest of the pad is easily cleaned. I usually use a handheld vacuum to tackle dust and crumbs that stick onto the sides and bottom of the pad. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who has a compact keyboard without a built-in hand rest. The pad is perfectly sized for my needs and provides the support that I need for my work. If you're hesitant about dealing with a product that may stain, look into plastic wrist rests instead.

comfy, not rigid and would recommend
Size: 60% Compact
it has some slip resistance though I see it slightly sliding every so often, it's obviously easy to install just place it there ha-ha, sturdy and comfortable. good support, I settled for this because I got it for 5 bucks not bad at all, it's about a half inch smaller than my keyboard (it says the size, so I knew that prior to purchasing so its sizing is correct as stated, a good thing) I should mention my desk is hard wood with some scratches in it so some of my other things slide too so I can't say its slip resistance is bad even with it slightly shifting every so often I'm sure it will be better for your desks too. here its barley slides so I'm sure it will stick in place like glue on your desks (aka wont slide you can easily move it if you wanted). I looked at the reviews saying this thing was rigid or not enough cushion, I feel like it's not too little not too much, not rigid, don't know what they are talking about, anyways I would definitely recommend.

Feels nice and looks great
Size: 80% Tenkeyless, Size: 80% Tenkeyless
I bought this wrist rest in like new condition for $6 and I will say it’s 100% worth MSRP at $15-20. The weight is nice, it doesn’t slip on my mousepad. It’s very comfortable to rest my palms and wrist on. The sizing pairs well with my 80% keyboard. It functions as it should. I use this at a stand up desk on an industrial shop floor to help put my wrist at a better angle and it works perfect.

Decent; does the job
Size: 100% Standard
Cushion feels very porous and thin. I suppose you can call it memory foam because it basically sunk where I usually rest my wrist and has not returned to its original shape (lol). The small rubber pads on the underside help a bit but slip resistance would probably be better if they covered a larger area. Overall, it's not bad for sub $20 full size kb wrist rest.

Is does the job, love it.
Size: 60% Compact
Is really comfy, it does the job, you can't go wrong with it. Just buy it if you have a 75% keyboard or less because is not long. For me is not a problem.
