We’ve been getting that message for many years,” said Velmans. Promising the fifth in the series will be “every bit as wonderful as the other four”, Marianne Velmans, the book’s editor, said it would allow readers to discover more about Jackson Brodie’s “complicated life” and the setting would be familiar, once again placing Brodie back in Yorkshire.

The detective series, featuring the ex-Cambridge Constabulary private investigator, makes its return after a nine-year hiatus.
