Kate Atkinson
When Will There Be Good News?
In a quiet corner of rural Devon, six-year-old Joanna Mason witnesses an appalling crime. Thirty years later the man convicted of the crime, Andrew Decker, is released from prison. In Edinburgh, 16-year-old Reggie, wise beyond her years, works as a nanny for a GP. But Dr Hunter has gone missing and Reggie seems to be the only person who is worried. Across town, Detective Chief Inspector Louise Monroe is also looking for a missing person, unaware that hurtling towards her is an old friend - Jackson Brodie - himself on a journey that is about to be fatally interrupted.
'Funny, bracmgly intelligent and delightfully prickly....Kate Atkinson is that rarest of beasts, a genuinely surprising novelist' - GUARDIAN

One of Us
March, 2003. A journalist meets a woman in a London cafe in the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq. Anna Adams has a story she is burning to tell, one that goes right to the top of the Cabinet. Her brother jack has committed a shocking, violent act that the authorities have tried to cover up, and Anna is determined both to defend and celebrate him, at all costs. Anna's tale takes us on a journey to the heart of British politics and through the lives of two families over thirty years. It charts the rise of a ruthless New Labour star and the charming solicitor whom Anna marries. It is also the story of Anna herself: daughter, wife and sister. As the story unfolds and her marriage begins to crumble, Anna is at the mercy of events and the most vicious form of blackmail.

Sacrifice
Set on the remote Shetland Islands, Sacrifice begins with the discovery of a woman's mutilated body. A hole appears where her heart has been cut out; runic symbols have been carved into her flesh. Tora Hamilton, consultant obstetrician on Shetland, uses her position at the local hospital to access information denied to the police and, in doing so, uncovers a terrifying pattern of missing women and disturbing links to ancient legends. There are dark secrets being guarded on Shetland but, one by one, Tora sees those she loves and trusts turn away from her, until she is entirely alone.
