Description
From Graham Norton comes a charming novel set in an idyllic Irish village where a bumbling investigator has to sort through decades of gossip and secrets to solve a mysterious crime. With its tale of provincial life, gimlet-eyed spinsters, and thwarted love it feels almost like a Miss Marple mystery.
The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama, and yet its inhabitants are troubled: Sergeant P.J. Collins hasnt always been this overweight; Brid Riordan, a mother of two, hasnt always been an alcoholic; and elegant Evelyn Ross hasnt always felt that her life was a total waste.
So when human remains suspected to be those of Tommy Burke discovered on an old farm, the villages dark past begins to unravel. As a frustrated P.J. struggles to solve a genuine case for the first time in his professional life, he unearths a community’s worth of anger and resentments, secrets and regrets.
