The mystery of Mercy Close

"A witty novel of second chances from internationally bestselling author Marian Keyes As the youngest of the five Walsh girls, Helen has had a tough time finding her way in the world--at thirty-three, she has her job as a private investigator that has proven less than fruitful and after losing her flat, she's moved back in with Mammy Walsh. Her hunky new boyfriend, Artie, and his three adorable children are a great distraction, but his beautiful ex-wife lives a little too close for comfort. Meanwhile, Helen runs into her ex-boyfriend Jay Parker and reluctantly signs on to help him locate Wayne Diffney, the recently disappeared fourth member of Ireland's biggest mid-nineties boy band, Laddz. Of the five Laddz, the Talented One has long gone on to better things, but the Cute One, the Gay One, and the Other One are all busily shunning carbs and rehearsing their reunion tour, and it's Helen's job to track down Wayne, the Wacky One. Wayne hasn't left a trace, and Helen throws herself into the search wholeheartedly, leaving no stone unturned while watching her own life slowly fall apart, one unpaid bill at a time."--

  • "Für Helen Walsh kommt es knüppeldick: Sie ist so mittellos, dass sie ihre Wohnung räumen und wieder bei ihren Eltern, den berüchtigten Walshs, einziehen muss. So deprimiert, dass sie statt Möwen schon Aasgeier über der Tankstelle kreisen sieht. Und so verzweifelt, dass sie einen beruflichen Auftrag ihres attraktiven Exfreundes annimmt. Doch am Ende erweist sich der Job, der als Höllenfahrt beginnt, unerwartet als Glücksfall ... Eigentlich galt Helen, die fünfte und jüngste der Walsh-Schwestern, immer als die coolste. Aber jetzt hat das Leben auch ihr übel mitgespielt: Die Privatdetektivin kann kaum noch einen Auftrag an Land ziehen und verliert darüber ihre Wohnung. Die einzige, schreckliche Lösung: wieder bei ihren Eltern einziehen und sich mit ihrer Mutter abplagen, die alles besser weiß und über ihre fünf missratenen Töchter schimpft. Da bietet Helen ausgerechnet ihr Exfreund Jay einen lukrativen Job an: Eine ehemalige Teenieband steht kurz vor dem Revival-Konzert, aber einer der Musiker ist plötzlich spurlos verschwunden. Zähneknirschend macht sich Helen auf die Suche und stößt schnell auf viele Ungereimtheiten. Noch erschreckender: Sie stößt im Haus ihres neuen Freundes auf dessen Exfrau im Negligé. Helen spürt, wie ihr langsam alles zu entgleiten droht. Doch dann nimmt der Fall eine spektakuläre Wendung und mit ihm Helens Leben."
  • "I employ this thing called The Shovel List. A shovel...? No. A Shovel List. It's more of a conceptual thing. It's a list of all the people and things I hate so much that I want to hit them in the face with a shovel. Helen Walsh doesn't believe in fear - it's just a thing invented by men to get all the money and good jobs - 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 - the target: Wayne Diffney, the 'Wacky One' from boyband Laddz. 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. Utterly compelling, moving and very very funny, The Mystery of Mercy Close is unlike any novel you've ever read and Helen Walsh - courageous, vulnerable and wasp-tongued - is the perfect heroine for our times."
  • "Meet Helen - youngest of the Walsh sisters and a law unto herself. She's easily bored, has an inability to filter her thoughts and was fired from every job she ever had before she found her true calling as a private investigator. But times are tough for PIs and Helen's had no choice but to take on the search for AWOL boyband has-been Wayne Diffney - The Wacky One. It's not all bad this game of Where's Wayne. It may have brought her charming crook of an ex Jay Parker back into her life, but it's giving her an excuse to avoid the usual Walsh family dramas and the intense looks from her gorgeous boyfriend Artie that make her heart beat wildly with lust and panic in equal measure. But most of all it's an excellent distraction from the huge swarm of black vultures gathering over her head. If she hides out in her target's empty house on Mercy Close for long enough maybe they'll go away . . . But as Helen begins to unravel the mysteries secreted on Mercy Close she discovers a kindred spirit in a man unwilling to be found. Could someone be telling her to look a little closer to home . . . ?"
