MISSING YOU ALREADY is Pauline McLynn at her storytelling best. She creates an utterly enchanting novel about the importance of the little things in life - little things that we so often take for granted but would be lost without...

Intrepid private eye Leo Street is on the trail of an adulterous husband when her clapped-out car causes her cover to be blown. It's time to draft in Ciara Gillespie, the teenage tearaway whom she befriended on her last case. At first, Ciara's madcap methods of surveillance leave a lot to be desired, but soon she's unearthing the secret life of an obstetrician who likes to dabble in genetic engineering... Meanwhile, Leo finds herself in even deeper trouble when she answers the call of Andy Raynor - an old flame who she's never fully extinguished. Sometimes a change isn't necessarily better than a rest...

It's a typical Tuesday evening in Kilbrody. Cathy Long is on her way to collect her drunken father from the pub. Ozzy O'Reilly is in the graveyard, watching the Dublin bus through his binoculars. Charlie Finn is pulling pints, when suddenly it hits he's bored. And that's when the woman from the bus walks through his door and drinks herself into oblivion. Now the whole village wants to know, who is the woman on the bus? The question is, will she tell them?

Pauline McLynn tells the moving story of two women who hardly know each other. One has literally been turfed out on to the street following a divorce from her husband; the other is battling to overcome a tragic loss in her family. What brings them together is nothing more than geography.
