When Will There Be Good News? - Kate Atkinson
The first few Atkinson books I read I was kind of "meh" about. I didn't really love them, but I liked her writing enough to keep trying. Then she published the first two Jackson Brodie books and I enjoyed them enormously. And then, although I kept adding all her new books to my TBR list, somehow none of them ever made it to the top. Don't be like me. Put Atkinson at the top of your list. [I've got A God in Ruins standing by as soon as I finish this other book, and the others are at the top of the queue]. The Brodie books in particular hit that sweet spot of examining the after effects of a crime like Barbara Vine, or Laura Lippman, while also being a compelling read, an entertaining mystery, and a Literary Novel.
Good stuff.
