And I think that's why it's, it's done pretty well abroad.

Okay.

Okay.

So I heard my publisher pitch this at an event as Bad Sisters meets Big Little Lies.

And I was like...

well you said it I mean that feels true I'm like cool okay because love both of those adore bad sisters and Big Little Lies was hugely um uh inspiring actually for me because we have all these really complicated yeah kind of tonally I I'm I'm with you yeah really okay great that tracks for me when they said that I said cool I get to repeat that now but not like sound big at it

So that's the kind of genre.

It's a mystery.

And it's more of a mystery than a thriller, but it's in the crime bracket.

And it's set in Dunmore East, this beautiful coastal village in Waterford.

And it is about three sisters who have complicated lives and very complicated relationships with each other.

So we have the eldest, Susanna.

She's a novelist, fairly well known.

The youngest, Lucy, who's an ex-guarda who left the guards in mysterious circumstances that she has to confront in the book.

And then the middle sister, Tara, who's quite unhappy in her life.

She's a hotel manager.

And Susanna basically says at the start of this book, I want peace in our time and I want a reunion.

And she has this family dinner in her mother's cottage in Dunmore East.

And on the second night, a stranger, a very irate, angry stranger, turns up at the door and

um and within an hour Susanna is missing and by morning there's a woman's body found um murdered in a nearby cove and it's up to Lucy to investigate to try and find her sister um and as she digs deep into what's going on she has to confront like I said why she to leave the guards but also she discovers there are secrets in her family's past in Dunmore East that she had no idea about yeah which holds the key to many of the questions she had but she never had answers to so
