Marian Keyes, the No. 1 bestselling author of Rachels 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 doesnt believe in fear - its just a thing invented by men to get all the money and good jobs - and yet shes 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 shes never going back there. Besides she has a new boyfriend now, the very sexy detective Artie Devlin and its all going well. But the reappearance of Jay is stirring up all kinds of stuff she thought shed 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 shes never even met. Utterly compelling, moving and very very funny, The Mystery of Mercy Close is unlike any novel youve ever read and Helen Walsh - courageous, vulnerable and wasp-tongued - is the perfect heroine for our times.
