The Bee Sting

Paul Murray

One Irish family, four private catastrophes, and years of everyone misreading everyone else.

Paul Murray follows one Irish family whose car dealership is failing, giving each member a long section and a private disaster the others cannot see. The comedy is real and so is the dread, and the book keeps revealing that everyone has been misreading everyone else for years.

For a masterclass in building tension, look no further than this book. It’s a family saga set in modern Ireland, following the Barnes family – mother Imelda, father Dickie, 18-year-old Cass and 12-year-old PJ.
