A literary family drama with a murder at its heart.
When Mercy Mulcahy was 40-years-old, she was accused of killing her elderly and tyrannical father. Now, at the end of her life, she has written a book about what really happened on that fateful night of Christmas Eve, 1989.
The tragic and beautiful Mercy has devoted her life to protecting Star from her father, Star's grandfather. His behavior so blighted her own life–she never wanted it to touch her darling daughter.
Yet, Star won't even read the manuscript. Star's contempt for Mercy is as painful as it is inexplicable.
Why? What has Mercy done? What is she hiding? Was her father's death, as many believe, an assisted suicide?
Or something even more sinister?
In this book, nothing is what it seems on the surface, and everywhere there are emotional twists and surprises.
Set in Ireland and California, Blue Mercy is a compelling novel, combing lyrical description with a unpausable style. It is an enthralling tale of love, loss, and the ever-present possibility of redemption.
