If not Maureen perhaps the murderer was her brother Liam who was a drug dealer. She had been ready to dump him and had just discovered he was married. The police, of course, have trouble believing that she did not murder Douglas. He had almost certainly been there all night. The next morning when she went into her living room she found her lover tied to a chair with his throat cut. She staggered home and into her bedroom and passed out. One night she went out with her friend Leslie and got drunk, blowing off her therapy session. She was sexually abused by her father and no one in the family truly believes her. She understands and copes with her depression, but she is frustrated by her family's unwillingness to understand the causes and their constant fear that she is "going mental" again. Garnethill is the story of a woman a with mental illness able to function in this world, but not entirely cured of her problems.
