Marian Keyes, the No. 1 bestselling author
of Rachel's Holiday, is back with her stunning new novel The Mystery of
Mercy Close and the return of the legendary and beloved Walsh sisters.
Helen
Walsh doesn't believe in fear - it's just a thing invented by men to
get all the money and good jobs - and yet she's sinking. Her work as a
Private Investigator has dried up, her flat has been repossessed and now
some old demons have resurfaced. Not least in the form of her charming
but dodgy ex-boyfriend Jay Parker, who shows up with a missing persons
case. Money is tight and Jay is awash with cash, so Helen is forced to
take on the task of finding Wayne Diffney, the 'Wacky One' from boyband
Laddz.
Things ended messily with Jay. And she's never going back
there. Besides she has a new boyfriend now, the very sexy detective
Artie Devlin and it's all going well. But the reappearance of Jay is
stirring up all kinds of stuff she thought she'd left behind.
Playing
by her own rules, Helen is drawn into a dark and glamorous world, where
her worst enemy is her own head and where increasingly the only person
she feels connected to is Wayne, a man she's never even met.
Utterly
compelling, moving and very very funny, The Mystery of Mercy Close is
unlike any novel you've ever read and Helen Walsh - courageous,
vulnerable and wasp-tongued - is the perfect heroine for our times.
