Sarah Breen and Emer McLysaght, the duo behind Ireland's beloved Aisling series, are stepping into unfamiliar creative territory with a crime-comedy novel rooted in their own noughties J1 experiences. Our Deadly Summer marks not an abandonment of what made them beloved, but a deepening of it — the same trust between friends, now placed inside a darker, stranger world. It is the kind of creative risk that only writers who have already found their audience can afford to take, and perhaps only writers who have found each other can dare.
