'I had to go back to New York and try to find him. There was a chance he mightn't be there but I had to give it a go because there was one thing I was certain of: he wasn't here'. Anna Walsh is officially a wreck. She's covered in bandages and she's lying in her parents' Good Front Room dreaming of leaving Dublin and getting back to New York. To her friends. To The Most Fabulous Job in the World. And most of all, back to her husband, Aiden. But her family have other ideas (not to mention the usual problems that beset the Walsh sisters). And Aiden, for some reason, seems unwilling to get in touch. What happened to Anna to send her so far from all that she loves? And what happened to her marriage that her husband won't talk to her?

Wenn der Absturz zum Glucksfall wirdFur Helen Walsh kommt es knuppeldick: Sie ist so mittellos, dass sie ihre Wohnung raumen und wieder bei ihren Eltern, den beruchtigten Walshs, einziehen muss. So deprimiert, dass sie statt Mowen schon Aasgeier uber der Tankstelle kreisen sieht. Und so verzweifelt, dass sie einen beruflichen Auftrag ihres attraktiven Exfreundes annimmt. Doch am Ende erweist sich der Job, der als Hollenfahrt beginnt, unerwartet als Glucksfall ...Eigentlich galt Helen, die funfte und jungste der Walsh-Schwestern, immer als die coolste. Aber jetzt hat das Leben auch ihr ubel mitgespielt: Die Privatdetektivin kann kaum noch einen Auftrag an Land ziehen und verliert daruber ihre Wohnung. Die einzige, schreckliche Losung: wieder bei ihren Eltern einziehen und sich mit ihrer Mutter abplagen, die alles besser wei und uber ihre funf missratenen Tochter schimpft. Da bietet Helen ausgerechnet ihr Exfreund Jay einen lukrativen Job an: Eine ehemalige Teenieband steht kurz vor dem Revival-Konzert, aber einer der Musiker ist plotzlich spurlos verschwunden. Zahneknirschend macht sich Helen auf die Suche und stot schnell auf viele Ungereimtheiten. Noch erschreckender: Sie stot im Haus ihres neuen Freundes auf dessen Exfrau im Neglige. Helen spurt, wie ihr langsam alles zu entgleiten droht. Doch dann nimmt der Fall eine spektakulare Wendung und mit ihm Helens Leben.
