When Will There Be Good News?

This was my first time reading this author and honestly just found this novel to be OK. I found it very disjointed and way to many storylines to keep track of. Of course all tied together at the end with the most thinnest of strings. I think this had the potential of being a really great book if the author had dropped some of the unnecessary baggage and focused on the core storyline. I am going to need a really good reason to give this author a second read!
