One-hit Wonder - Hardcover

Bee Bearhorn had a number-one-hit single in 1985 - and was never heard of again When beautiful and glamorous thirtysomething Bea Bearhorn is found dead, her younger sister, Ana, is sent up to London by her agoraphobic mother with the awful job of clearing out her sister's flat. Ana expects to find evidence of the glittering social whirl she imagined her sister to move in but instead finds a lot of empty bottles, a missing cat and an old lady with some strange stories about Bea's lonely existence. Ana is determined to discover exactly what did happen to the girl who lived off the back of one 80s hit for too long. Why had she been lying to everyone and where has all the sparkle gone?

Lisa Jewell is in her early thirties and lives in north London with her husband and their cat. She used to be a secretary until redundancy, a bet, and a book deal took her away from all that, and she is now a full-time writer.
