A New York Times bestseller From Graham Norton--the BAFTA Award-winning and hugely popular BBC America television host--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.
With its tale of provincial life, gimlet-eyed spinsters, and thwarted love.
it feels almost like a Miss Marple mystery written by Colm T ib n ( The New York Times ).
The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama, and yet its inhabitants are troubled: Sergeant P.
Collins hasn't always been this overweight; Brid Riordan, a mother of two, 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--suspected to be those of Tommy Burke, a former lover of both Brid and Evelyn--are discovered on an old farm, the village's dark past begins to unravel.
As a frustrated P.
struggles to solve a genuine case for the first time in his professional life, he unearths a community's worth of anger and resentments, secrets and regrets.
Darkly comic, at times profoundly sad, and especially inviting because of its tongue-in-cheek wit ( Kirkus Reviews ), Holding is a masterful debut.
Graham Norton employs his acerbic humor to breathe life into a host of lovable characters, and explore--with searing honesty--the complexities and contradictions that make us human.
