Kate Atkinson has already made a splash with her debut novel, which received the prestigious Whitbread Prize, beating out many eminent candidates - for example, Salman Rushdie with his The Moor's Farewell Sigh. However, real fame came to her with the publication of Crimes of the Past, the first book in the series about the Cambridge private detective Jackson Brody. The novel caused a storm of delight among critics, colleagues, and the general reader; Stephen King himself became one of the most ardent promoters of Atkinson’s work. “Crimes of the Past” was followed by “A Turn for the Better” and “Should We Expect Good News?”, no less polyphonic and causing no less enthusiastic reactions. This time the action does not take place in the university of Cambridge or among the crowds of tourists who have gathered for the Edinburgh Festival, although the Scottish capital once again provides a picturesque backdrop to the events taking place. And the impetus for them was a terrible crime thirty years ago, which shook up quiet Devonshire and all of England; and now the convicted murderer, having served his due time, is released. Meanwhile, Dr. Hunter and her small child go missing—but her disappearance seems to concern only her shepherd, Sadie, and her sixteen-year-old babysitter, Reggie. And Detective Chief Inspector Louise Monroe is preoccupied with another loss - not yet knowing that Jackson Brody is about to burst into her life again, and at full speed (literally).
