The Mystery of Mercy Close

The Mystery of Mercy Close by Marian Keyes sees the return of the beloved Walsh sisters in this hilarious and heartbreaking novel. Helen Walsh doesn't believe in love, fear, depression or hot drinks...Utterly compelling, moving and very, very funny, The Mystery of Mercy Close is the story of courageous, vulnerable and wasp-tongued private investigator Helen Walsh. When a missing persons case draws her into the dark, glamorous world of her dodgy-ex, Jay Parker, Helen finds she's seeing more of him and less of Artie Devlin, her sexy detective boyfriend. Caught between smart, stable Artie and chaotic, up-for-anything Jay - two different, equally enticing men - and plagued by her own black doubts, Helen finds she's beginning to believe in something - but is it fear, or is it love?
