Brodie was on the train to London, or so he thought. In fact, however, he had boarded the wrong train and was headed for his hometown of Edinburgh, Scotland. On the way, the train derails and Brodie is critically injured. He would have died if a young girl named Reggie (short for Regina) hadn’t given him CPR. Brodie has severed an artery in his arm and is in the hospital for sometime before he regains consciousness. His wallet was missing and the only identification on him was an old expired driver’s license that belonged to a man named Andrew Decker, a killer who has recently been release from prison. Unfortunately for Brodie, he can’t remember who he is or how he ended up in the hospital.

His doctor tells him he will probably never remember the accident, or the time just before that, but the rest would probably come back slowly. In a short time he remembers that his real name is Jackson Brodie. He tells Reggie and the doctors, but Reggie is the only one who truly believes him. And Reggie is of the opinion that Jackson belongs to her—she had, after all, saved his life—and she needs his help now to find her missing employer, Joanna Hunter.

Reluctantly, Jackson agrees. He’s remembered who Andrew Decker is. Joanna Hunter is also someone he once knew. He’d found her when she was six, hiding in the woods. She was the only one who’d survived Decker’s murderous rampage when he’d killed her mother, sister and brother and the family dog. Now, with Decker loose and Joanna and her baby missing...

When Will There Be Good News? is a riveting mystery I couldn’t put down. Mystery fans enjoy.
