Aisling is 28 and she’s a complete...Aisling. She lives at home in Ballygobbard (or Ballygobackwards, as some gas tickets call it) with her parents and commutes to her good job at PensionsPlus in Dublin. Aisling goes out every Saturday night with her best friend, Majella, who is a bit of a hames (she’s lost two phones already this year - Aisling has never lost a phone). They love hoofing into the Coors Light if they’re 'Out' or the vodka and Diet Cokes if they’re 'Out Out'.

Living in the Big Apple feels like a movie, especially when Aisling finds her ex-boyfriend John on her doorstep. Can his new-found devotion (and his new six-pack!) lure her back home, or should she continue to chase the American dream with the Irish Mafia and Jeff the ridey fireman? Meanwhile, in Ballygobbard, it’s all go. Baby showers are the new hen parties, Mammy and Dr Trevor are more serious than Aisling thought, and the prospect of two evil stepsisters has her doubting her place in the family.

Meet Aisling. She's a country girl learning to love the city sophistication of unlimited Pinot Greej and brunch, though smashed avocado still mystifies her. She can plan anything, from Secret Santa for her ungrateful colleagues to a hen party for not one but two brides. But even Aisling is thrown off course when her job and relationship suddenly go up in smoke. Life in the city was supposed to be glamorous and grown-up, but all at once she's heading home to live with her mother. (Not without a detour to Vegas first - she's unemployed and single, not dead.)

With her cafe, BallyGoBrunch, flying and the door firmly closed on her relationship with boyfriend John, Aisling accepts an unexpected job offer and boards a business-class flight to New York in her best wrap dress and heels. As she finds her feet in the Big Apple, she throws herself into the dating game, grapples with 'always-on' work culture, forges and fights for new friendships and brings her good wedges to a party in the Hamptons, much to her friend, Sadhbh's, dismay.

Brought to you by Penguin. Aisling is ready to conquer the world. Yes, Aisling recently had her heart broken and her job disappear, but everything's back on track. She's got a new man and a new business, and her best friend has asked her to cater for her wedding. What could be nicer? Aisling's world is falling apart. Because a celebrity wedding is in town on the same day, and taking that job could change the game for Aisling's fledgling business. Not to mention that an old flame is back in town, muddying the waters with her handsome new boyfriend.

Esteemed mystery writer Anne Perry, author of more than twenty-five novels and two acclaimed detective series, heads up a delectable cast of writers, the very best from both sides of the Atlantic.

The ten mysteries included here are read by Stephanie Beacham, Christopher Cazenove, Reed Diamond, Judy Geeson, Patrick Macnee, and Emmy winners Juliet Mills and William Windom.

So schnell kann’s gehen: Gerade noch lief in Dublin für Aisling alles wunderbar, da zerplatzt der Großstadttraum... Nicht nur, dass sie plötzlich ihren Job verliert, auch aus ihrer coolen WG muss sie ausziehen - und die gerade wieder aufgeflammte Beziehung zu John geht den Bach runter. Was tun? Erstmal zurück nach Hause aufs Land (nicht ohne einen Abstecher nach Las Vegas - ein bisschen Spaß muss schließlich sein). Eine Katastrophe? Oder wird es Aisling gelingen, in Ballygobbard nicht nur zurück zu ihren Wurzeln, sondern auch ihr Glück zu finden?

Eigentlich wollte die bodenständige 28-jährige Aisling (sprich: Äschling) nur eins: endlich einen Antrag von ihrem Freund John. Als selbst der romantische Trip nach Teneriffa nichts hilft, macht Aisling plötzlich etwas ganz und gar Unvernünftiges: Sie trennt sich von John, zieht von ihrem Heimatort Ballygobbard nach Dublin – und findet sich schon bald zwischen neuen glamourösen Freundinnen, einem Finanzskandal (den, so hofft sie inständig, nicht sie selbst verursacht hat) sowie einem Liebesdreieck (das in ein Liebesviereck zu münden droht) wieder.
