3 y separately published work icon Tyringham Park Rosemary McLoughlin , Dublin : Poolbeg , 2012 Z1925028 2012 single work novel mystery 'Tyringham Park is the Blackshaws' magnificent country house in the south of Ireland. It is a haven of wealth and privilege until its peace is shattered by a devastating event which reveals the chaos of jealousy and deceit beneath its surface. Charlotte Blackshaw is only eight years old when her little sister Victoria goes missing from the estate. Charlotte is left to struggle with her loss without any support from her hostile mother and menacing nanny. It is obvious to Charlotte that both of them wish she had been the one to go missing rather than pretty little Victoria.

Charlotte finds comfort in the kindness of servants. With their help she seeks an escape from the burden of being the unattractive one left behind. Despite her mother's opposition, she later reaches out for happiness and believes the past can no longer hurt her. But the mystery of Victoria's disappearance continues to cast a long shadow over Tyringham Park - a mystery that may still have the power to destroy its world and the world of all those connected to it.' (Publisher's blurb)

'Katie Horgan is going places: soon she'll be a partner in the prestigious law firm where she works. Her love life, on the other hand, is going nowhere. That is, until she meets Jim Donnelly. Jim is brilliant, handsome and, like her parents, Irish. The only problem is that he already has a girlfriend...

'When Katie is sent to Ireland as part of her training, she happily settles into life in Dublin where she works in a clinic that provides free legal advice to the homeless. She befriends Mags who's warm and quirky and comes with a big entourage of friends. When she's not working or socialising, Katie's trying to track down her long-lost extended family. The icing on the cake is when Jim Donnelly comes home on a visit, but as their relationship deepens, Mags' friendliness cools.

'Then disaster strikes and there are many shocks in store for Katie as everyone - including her parents - shows their true colours. Life and love are not as black and white as Katie always thought...' (Publisher's blurb)
