After the death of her estranged sister Delfina, Luísa Medeiros returns to their Portuguese American hometown to handle the practical aftermath of the funeral: borrowed dishes, leftover food, parish obligations, and old grievances. But as she begins returning casseroles and pie plates around town, small discoveries force her to reconsider the story she has long believed about Delfina and the family rupture that separated them. A restrained, emotionally layered domestic mystery about sibling estrangement, community memory, grief, and the truths ordinary objects can carry.

    An unoccupied flat. A freshly dressed bed. The body of a young woman laid out neatly on the duvet. The dead girl looks familiar – troublingly familiar – but Detective Inspector Cassie May can't place her. And to compound her troubles, Cassie has just started dating the flat's owner, James Flynn.
    When her boyfriend is accused of murder, an ambitious young DI risks her career – and her life – by defying her bosses, the security services, and a crime syndicate, to prove the innocence of a man who seems more worried about the long-buried secrets she might unearth than the murder charge hanging over him.
    Set across the leafiest of Sheffield suburbs, the sink estates of South Manchester, and the bleak and snowy Pennine moors that separate them, The Wythenshawe Dandy presents a discomforting picture of a world where privilege and wretchedness coexist.

    January 1921. Though the Great War is over, in Ireland a new civil war is raging. The once-grand Kilcolgan House, a crumbling bastion shrouded in sea mist, lies half empty and filled with ghosts, both real and imagined, while it shelters the surviving members of the Prendeville family. Then, when an IRA ambush goes terribly wrong, Maud Prendeville, Lord Kilcolgan’s eldest daughter, is killed, leaving the family reeling. Yet the IRA column behind the attack insists they left her alive, that someone else must be responsible for her terrible fate. Captain Tom Harkin, an IRA intelligence officer and Maud's former fiancé, is sent to investigate. He becomes an unwelcome guest in this strange, gloomy household. Working undercover, Harkin must delve into the house's secrets—and discover where, in this fractured, embattled town, allegiances truly lie. But Harkin too is haunted by the ghosts of the past and by his terrible experiences on the battlefields. Can he find the truth about Maud's death before the past—and his strange, unnerving surroundings—overwhelm him?
