When Will There Be Good News? by Kate Atkinson

 

Particularly good Jackson Brodie episode. Criss-crossing murder, kidnapping, and trainwreck plots serve up lots of tension and release. Some of the good guys win, but not all - and Jackson, as usual, fumbles around with his set ways and ends up not doing too much damage. Despite a near-death experience, coma, a fleecing from his new much-younger wife.
