One-hit Wonder by Lisa Jewell tells the intriguing story of Bee Bearhorn, who captured the world’s attention with a number-one hit single in 1985, only to fade into obscurity. Fifteen years later, Bee is found dead in her flat, and remarkably, nobody seems to care.

Ana Wills, Bee's half-sister, often daydreamed about the enigmatic sibling she had not seen in years. Upon her arrival in London to clear out Bee's flat, Ana discovers a life far more exotic than she had ever imagined: a secret country cottage, mysterious weekends away, and the case of a missing cat.

Joined by Bee’s closest friends—mischievous Lol and the strong, silent Flint—Ana embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about Bee Bearhorn, the elusive one-hit wonder.
