Book review - When Will There Be Good News?

September 18th, 2008

Sarah Clarke of The Torbay Bookshop reviews the latest releases.

Kate Atkinson’s new novel When Will There Be Good News? features the former police inspector Jackson Brodie from Case Histories and One Good Turn. It begins with a horrific murder of a mother and her two children and comes full circle 30 years on. For me this was her best yet and I particularly liked the twists and turns in the plot and how the very different and engaging characters were gradually introduced, each one connected in some way.

When Will There Be Good News, Kate Atkinson, Transworld, £17.99, 9780385608015
