Gossip - Softcover

Where Katy Hayes previous novel, Curtains was set in the world of theatre, Gossip is set in the world of newspapers. Mary Jane is the gossip columnist of a leading Dublin newspaper, attending all the openings in skimpy frocks and high heels, keeping an eye on who¿s with whom and making up what she can¿t see. Well that¿s the by-line anyway. The truth is that Mary Jane is a man ¿ forty, unfit, endearingly incapable of keeping up with his wife, his physiotherapist, or even with the times. When Mary Jane reports on a sighting of a prominent Dublin businessman¿s extra-marital canoodlings, he doesn¿t expect to become embroiled in infidelity and murder.

Katy Hayes was born in 1965. A former theatre director, she now lives with her husband and son in Dublin.
