The Mystery Of Mercy Close

The Mystery Of Mercy Close by Marian Keyes Helen Walsh
doesn’t believe in fear – it’s just a thing invented by
men to get all the money and good job – 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 – so tight Helen’s had to
move back in with her elderly parents – and Jay is awash
with cash. The missing person is Wayne Diffney the ‘Wacky
One’ from boyband Laddz. He’s vanished from his house in
Mercy Close and it’s vital that he’s found – Laddz have a
sell-out comeback gig in five days’ time. 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 even though
his ex-wife isn’t quite ‘ex’ enough and his teenage son
hates her. 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.
