Alle kan huske, hvor de var den dag, de hørte, at Paddy de Courcy skulle giftes. Men for fire kvinder er den store nyhed om den charmerende politiker særlig opsigtsvækkende. Stylisten Lola bliver noget overrasket, da hun læser nyheden på internettet. I de seneste måneder har hun nemlig været kæreste med Paddy de Courcy, men det er ikke hende, der er hans udkårne. For at slikke sine sår stikker hun af til den lille flække Knockavoy på den irske vestkyst, hvor hun møder flere søde fyre og adskillige lokale originaler, der gør deres for at trøste hende. Journalisten Grace gør, hvad hun kan for at få Lola til at fortælle sin historie. Selv kender hun ´charmedrengen´ de Courcy fra sin ungdom, og hun ved, at der ligger en god historie gemt i hans pludselige forlovelse. Men Lola vil ikke tale med hende. Graces tvillingesøster, Marnie, ville nu også kunne fortælle historier om Paddy de Courcy, som var hendes første store kærlighed. Selvom det er mange år siden, og hun nu er gift og har to søde børn, har hun aldrig rigtig kunnet glemme Paddy. Og hvad siger den kommende brud Alicia til det hele? Kender hun alle de lidet flatterende historier, som de andre går og gemmer på om hendes åh så charmerende tilkommende?

Marian Keyes er tilbage med sin femte selvstændige roman om Walsh-søstrene, som læserne kender fra VANDMELONEN, RACHELS FERIE, ENGLE og ER DER NOGEN?EN SAG FOR HELEN WALSH er historien om den femte og sidste af Walsh-søstrene, Helen, der befinder sig langt inde i depressionens tåger. Helen er 34 år og privatdetektiv, eller måske var privatdetektiv, for det er længe siden, at hun har haft en sag at opklare, og hun er netop blevet tvunget til at opgive sin lejlighed og flytte hjem til mor og far igen.   Gudskelov dukker der imidlertid et job op: Rockstjernen Wayne Diffney er forsvundet umiddelbart inden en stor reunion-koncert med boybandet Laddz, og Helen har nu en uge til at finde ham, uden at pressen og offentligheden får nys om, at han er væk.Pressen skriver:»Bestsellerforfatteren Maria Keys formår om nogen at skrive let og lækker chick-lit, der behandler så tunge emner som stofmisbrug, sorgbearbejdning og – i ”En sag for Helen Walsh” – depression. Serien om Walsh-søstrene strækker sig nu over fem bøger og kan sagtens læses usammenhængende, selv om de all er værd at have liggende øverst i strandtasken, feriekufferten eller bare på natbordet.«- SØNDAG
