'It's funny and wonderfully perceptive' Wendy Holden
'Poised and perceptive' the Sunday Times
'It is beautiful and yet devastatingly sad' Daily Express
'Deeply accomplished...brilliantly observed' Good Housekeeping
'... a deftly plotted story as moving as it is compelling.' Sunday Mirror
'Strenuously charming...surprisingly tender' Metro
'Heartwarming and observant' Stylist
The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama; and yet its inhabitants are troubled. Sergeant PJ Collins hasn't always been this overweight; mother of two Brid Riordan hasn't always been an alcoholic; and elegant Evelyn Ross hasn't always felt that her life was a total waste. So when human remains are discovered on an old farm, suspected to be that of Tommy Burke - a former love of both Brid and Evelyn - the village's dark past begins to unravel. As the frustrated PJ struggles to solve a genuine case for the first time in his life, he unearths a community's worth of anger and resentments, secrets and regret.
Darkly comic, touching and at times profoundly sad. Graham Norton employs his acerbic wit to breathe life into a host of lovable characters, and explore - with searing honesty - the complexities and contradictions that make us human.
