Book: Summer Lies Bleeding
NUALA Casey’s second novel is a taut thriller set in London. It centres on four characters during the summer of 2012: Stella Blake, a young woman pursuing a doctorate in English literature who feels trapped in her relationship; Sebastian Bailey, an artist and a father; Mark Davis, a northerner about to avenge his sister’s brutal murder; and financial analyst Kerstin Engel, an arithmomaniac battling obsessive compulsive disorder.
As summer wanes, these four are slowly drawn together with tragic results.
