The razor-sharp, violent and darkly comic second novel from actor,
comedian and writer Ardal O'Hanlon. Dove Connolly is dead. That's
not good for anyone in Tullyanna, never mind Dove. Now his best
friend Sharkey is home asking awkward questions about Dove's death,
about the strange graphic novel he left behind, and, most of all,
about Sandra. Sandra Mohan. Missing now for over a decade,
whereabouts unknown. This, however, is a town dead-set on keeping
its secrets. And Sharkey is already drawing attention from all the
wrong quarters... A mystery, a black comedy, a satire on Ireland's
tangled politics of memory, Brouhaha is set in a small town on the
Irish border during the uneasy transition to peace. And peace
doesn't come easy in these parts. ***** Over the past few days,
Kevin, no flies on him, had sensed a tension in the town thanks to
Dove Connolly's poor decision to blow his own head off. It wasn't
just the act of self-harm itself, the pointless splattering of
blood and bone and brain all over his bedroom wall, that was the
issue, unsettling as that was. In so doing, poor Dove had spread
panic amongst the townspeople, raising all sorts of ugly questions,
reviving all sorts of rumours, and inviting all sorts of unwelcome
attention upon them. In Kevin's mind, there was method in Dove's
madness. Showing a shocking assertiveness for possibly the first
time in his life, and the last, says you, Dove blew the lid off the
whole town.
