A sharply funny and moving debut in which a young woman accepts a job that takes her though the Italian Dolomites and into an international mystery far greater--and more personal--than she could have ever expected.

For someone who hates secrets, Las Vegas hairdresser Lucy Rey is about to be faced with a whole bunch of them. After discovering that her fiancé has been cheating on her with someone from his improv class, she finds herself short on funds and desperate for a change of scenery. Enter a most unusual job opportunity: a Bearer of Bad News.

Sure, it's a little weird--the job description has few details, and the bad news is more like a vaguely worded threat--but Lucy can't say no to the perks: an all-expenses-paid trip to the Italian Dolomites, plus a generous bonus if she proves she's delivered the message. Then she learns that her task is just the tip of the iceberg.

Launched into a world of betrayal and greed involving eighty-year-old secrets, stolen jewels, and a World War II-era mystery, Lucy is in over her head. And she's connected to her mission in ways she never saw coming.

For fans of Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and Kirstin Chen's Counterfeit, Bearer of Bad News is an exhilarating romp that deftly explores the weight of secrets, the power of friendship, and how, by healing the wounds of the past, we can build a brighter tomorrow.
