When Will There Be Good News? (Jackson Brodie, #3)

by Kate Atkinson

The third installment in Kate Atkinson's wildly beloved series of Jackson Brodie Mysteries: a complex tale of murder, coincidence, and connected lives.

On a hot summer day, Joanna Mason's family slowly wanders home along a country lane. A moment later, Joanna's life is changed forever...

On a dark night thirty years later, ex-detective Jackson Brodie finds himself on a train that is both crowded and late. Lost in his thoughts, he suddenly hears a shocking sound...

At the end of a long day, 16-year-old Reggie is looking forward to watching a little TV. Then a terrifying noise shatters her peaceful evening. Luckily, Reggie makes it a point to be prepared for an emergency...

These three lives come together in unexpected and deeply thrilling ways in the latest novel from Kate Atkinson, the critically acclaimed author who Harlan Coben calls "an absolute must-read."

"As a reader, I was charmed. As a novelist, I was staggered by Kate Atkinson's narrative wizardry." -- Stephen King

Reviews

[Eve1972]

This was my first time reading this author and honestly just found this novel to be OK. I found it very disjointed and way to many storylines to keep track of. Of course all tied together at the end with the most thinnest of strings. I think this had the potential of being a really great book if the author had dropped some of the unnecessary baggage and focused on the core storyline. I am going to need a really good reason to give this author a second read!
