Review of 'When will there be good news?' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I enjoyed the 3rd book in the Jackson Brodie series quite a bit. Not sure how to rank it, probably as good as number 2, but not as good as Case Stories? It's got all the same traits that I love from the other books. A wide range of PoVs about several criminal cases, all lives kind of interweaving.

I turned pages, and was baffled in parts. It's a slow book, yet there's so much going on, and everything is resolved in the end. Would only recommend if you dug book 2 as much as I did.
