When Will There Be Good News?

When Will There Be Good News? is the third Jackson Brodie novel, winner of Richard & Judy's Best Read. This literary crime work comes from the number-one bestselling author of Big Sky and Transcription.

Daily Mail praises the novel as "An exhilarating read. Her wry humour, sharp eye for the quirks of human behaviour and subtle characterisation are a constant joy."

In a quiet corner of rural Devon, a six-year-old girl witnesses an appalling crime. Thirty years later, the man convicted of the crime is released from prison.

In Edinburgh, sixteen-year-old Reggie, wise beyond her years, works as a nanny for a G.P. However, her employer has disappeared with her baby, and Reggie seems to be the only person who is concerned.

Across town, Detective Chief Inspector Louise Monroe is also looking for a missing person, unaware that a former acquaintance, Jackson Brodie, is hurtling towards her on a journey that becomes fatally interrupted.
