Mare of Easttown
When staying busy is the only way you know how to grieve. Mare Sheehan would rather solve a murder than talk about her son. Same, sometimes.
Who it's for
Mare Sheehan is a small-town detective who throws herself into a murder case partly so she never has to stop and feel the loss of her son Kevin, who died by suicide before the series begins.
Feelings it meets
