The No-Show

The No-Show by Beth O’Leary

If you love a good mystery without the murder, this book is for you. Written by the author of The Flatshare, this story presents fragments of the lives of three women and one man in what appears to be an oddly shaped love ‘triangle’. But are things really as they appear?

Joseph Carter stands up three women on Valentine’s Day; breakfast with Siobhan, lunch with Miranda and an evening party with Jane. Siobhan feels that she is getting too attached to Joseph and withdraws, just like every other time someone has gotten close to her. Miranda feels like Carter is keeping secrets from her but can’t help forgiving him. Jane has been badly burned by men in the past and is now distressed to find herself falling in love with her new ‘just-a-friend’ Joseph Carter.

A fantastic Rom-Com that capitalises on the conventions of mistaken intentions, misunderstood characters, and hidden back-stories. O’Leary masters the art of slow exposition and the reader finds themself slowly becoming attached to each character as more about their real story is revealed. The No-Show will intrigue from the first chapter as you try to piece together each character’s story and discover the real story behind it all.
