The daughter of a shopkeeper, Atkinson was born in York, the setting for several of her books. She studied English literature at the University of Dundee, gaining her master’s degree in 1974. Atkinson subsequently studied for a doctorate in American literature, entitled “The post-modern American short story in its historical context”. She failed at the viva (oral examination) stage. After leaving the university, she took on a variety of jobs from home help to legal secretary and teacher.

Her first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum, won the 1995 Whitbread Book of the Year and went on to be a Sunday Times bestseller. Since then, she has published further novels, as well as plays and short stories. Some of her books are part of a series of novels, starting with Case Histories, which feature the character of Jackson Brodie as a private investigator and former police inspector. Atkinson has criticised the media’s coverage of her work – when she won the Whitbread award, for example, it was the fact that she was a “single mother” who lived outside London that received the most attention. In a 2018 interview she declared that she did not spend time in great literary parties or the London high life.

In 2015 in the United States, Shonda Rhimes was in the process of developing a pilot called The Catch, based on a treatment written by Atkinson, and starring Mireille Enos.
