Kate Atkinson — When Will There Be Good News?
Doubleday 2008 Paperback, 352pp. In rural Devon, six-year-old Joanna Mason witnesses an appalling crime. Thirty years later the man convicted of the crime is released from prison. In Edinburgh, sixteen-year-old Reggie works as a nanny for a G.P. But Dr Hunter has gone missing and Reggie seems to be the only person who is worried. Across town, Detective Chief Inspector Louise Monroe is also looking for a missing person, unaware that hurtling towards her is an old friend Jackson Brodie, himself on a journey that becomes fatally interrupted. Moderate wear to cover, owner's names marked out. (ISBN: 9780385614511). Good.
