"Originally published in Great Britain in 2016 by Hodder & Stoughton." -- Verso title page.
"From Graham Norton, the BAFTA-award-winning Irish television host and author of the "sparkling and impish" (Daily Mail) memoirs The Life and Loves of a He Devil and So Me, comes a charming debut 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. The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama but when human remains are discovered on an old farm, suspected to be that of Tommy Burke--a former lover of two different inhabitants--the village's dark past begins to unravel. As the frustrated sergeant PJ Collins 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. In this darkly comic, touching, and at times heartbreaking novel, perfect for fans of J.K. Rowling's The Casual Vacancy, 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"-- Provided by publisher.

Delightful submitted by emroon on July 17, 2022, 3:37pm This was a delightful little mystery set in a small town in Ireland. It was a read that made me feel cozy. While it was nothing groud breaking I loved reading it. The characters were fun and I grew to like many of them by the end of the book. This is sort of like if a modern Agatha Christie novel was set in a small village in Ireland.
