Summary
The gripping sequel to bestselling THE FOUR STREETS. Shot through with darkness, but also humour, warmth and charm.
In the
Four Streets in Liverpool, a
dreadful murder has been committed, and
14-year-old Kitty Doherty is pregnant with the dead man's child.
This secret is so
dangerous that her mother, Maura, and the redoubtable Kathleen, her best friend Nellie's grandmother, decide the girls must be spirited away quietly to
Ireland to await the birth of the baby.
But back in
Liverpool, the police are not giving up their search for the truth. Somewhere, in this tight-knit
Irish Catholic community, someone must know something. Someone surely will talk one day. The streets are alive with
gossip and rumour and it isn't easy to keep a
secret that big.Can't wait for the next one? THE BALLYMARA ROAD is out now!What people are saying about
