An Unlikely Visitor: A Novel
From the internationally bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep comes a funny, poignant, and “engaging mystery…a perfect book for today’s world” (Sarah Winman, author of Still Life) about a woman who encounters the ghosts of her past as she untangles the truth behind her daughter’s disappearance.
Margaret thinks her time is up...
Things have been hard since her husband Derek died, and they never got over the disappearance of their daughter, Jeanie, all those years ago. With his support, it seemed like everything would be okay—okay enough, that is.
But now Derek’s gone. Margaret moves through the days slowly, quietly, alone. Then one day, Margaret returns home to an unlikely visitor, and together they set out to discover what really happened to Jeanie. Perhaps if she knocks on enough doors, she might find another end to the story.
Part mystery, part ghost story, part meditation on grief, An Unlikely Visitor is a “moving, funny, compassionate, and wise” (Elizabeth Day, author of Magpie) reminder that the people we love are always with us.
