This is the third in the series of Jackson Brodie. Interesting  characters my favourite being Reggie a tenacious 16 year old who looks much younger. There're different crime stories that are interlinked and magically woven together. A surviving child, a murderer being released from prison, a train crash that leaves Jackson with amnesia  and DI Louise Monroe investigating the crime(s). A fantastic read, funny in parts giving light relief, a light tone with a darkening plot, a detective story but so much more. Brilliant.

I could very much relate to the characters but they were also able to surprise me at times

There aren't extremely deep explanations of injuries. The words mainly leave you being able to imagine the severity rather than explain them directly.
