About this listen
Graham Norton's masterful debut is an intelligently crafted story of love, secrets and loss.
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 loveable characters, and explore - with searing honesty - the complexities and contradictions that make us human.

Touching very human drama that makes you smile
I expected a comedy but was more delighted with the well developed and lovely characters and the very real feelings described. A superior novel.

A Feast For The Ears
I was thrilled to discover Graham Norton's skill as TV presenter, was matched by his ability to write and narrate a wonderful story. His lilting Irish accent and character voices had me entranced from the get go. I highly recommend this book, and I am so glad I bought it as an audio book. I am planning on buying more of Graham's books in audible. If I could give this more than 5 starts I would do so. I LOVED it.
