Description

Private investigator Helen Walsh is struggling to keep her business—and herself—afloat when she is hired to find Wayne Diffney, a missing member of a reunited boy band with a crucial concert just days away. The case takes Helen into the glittering, eccentric world of pop celebrity while bringing her face-to-face with Jay Parker, the charismatic ex-boyfriend whose return unsettles her already fragile life. As the search grows more complicated, Helen must contend with family pressures, old wounds, romance, and the darker corners of her own mind. Witty, emotionally perceptive, and brimming with Marian Keyes’s signature warmth, the novel explores depression, resilience, connection, and the unexpected ways people find their way back to themselves.
