What to expect

What drives a happy woman to commit a terrible crime?

After leaving her work summer party, thirty-eight-year-old Courtney Baker drives into a busy bus-stop outside Queen Elizabeth Hospital, killing several bystanders, and herself.

The pressure for answers from the police is immediate. When it’s discovered Courtney is an ex-drug user with a heart condition, many jump to the conclusion that she relapsed. She must have lost control: of herself, and the wheel.

But Detective Liz Field is not convinced. The more she investigates, it's clear that those closest to Courtney are hiding secrets of their own…

With the case under intense public scrutiny, and Field's team hit harder than ever before, Field must question every assumption. Could there ever be a ‘good’ reason to murder?

This heart-racing crime thriller about obsession, jealousy, and addiction is perfect for fans of Helen Fields, Nadine Matheson, and Sam Holland.

Praise for NO GOOD REASON:

'Liz Field is back… and she's back with a BANG! There's something uniquely wonderful about Hannah Brennan's writing, and that stems from the authenticity with which Field comes to life across the pages. It's a story that grips you from the outset, and one that you need in your life. Kudos to Hannah, this one is beltingly good!'

G. D. Wright, After the Storm

'Pacy, emotional and entirely superb – another fantastic instalment in one of my favourite series.'

Katie Lumsden, The Christmas Tree Murders

'Layered, twisty and gripping, this next expertly crafted instalment of the Detective Liz Field series shows Brennan is indisputably at the top of her game.'

Naomi Williams, The Woman in Ward 9

'Highly emotional and full of genius twists: another authentic police procedural from Hannah Brennan'

Kinglsey Pearson, Flat 401

'This explosive and pacy police procedure had me up late into the night. Brennan has produced another elevated and well observed crime thriller in the Field series and I lapped it up.'

Chris Bridges, Sick to Death / The Death Bed
