Summary
Seis mansiones， seis secretos， una víctima。 Todos tienen motivos。
En la exclusiva urbanización de Withered Vale， la vida de sus seis familias parece tan idílica como las casas con jardín en las que viven。 Dinero， éxito， privilegios; sus residentes lo tienen todo。 Hasta que ocurre lo impensable: el cadáver de Olive Collins aparece dentro de la casa número cuatro。 Todos están conmocionados por la noticia， pero lo cierto es que nadie pensó en ir a verla cuando desapareció de un día para otro tres meses atrás。
La policía empieza a hacer preguntas y la fachada aparentemente impecable de toda la comunidad comienza a resquebrajarse。 Sobre todo cuando parece que todos tienen secretos， intereses y motivos para desear su muerte。

Lectura que te atrapa más a medida que vas avanzando el libro， con un final inesperado que no te deja indiferente

Capítulos cortos， y sospechas de todos y de ninguno。 Buen final， aunque la última parte del libro se hace bastante pesada y con poco ritmo。

What a superb story！ I enjoyed every sentence of it （after getting used to the fact that in Irish English "to call over" obviously means "to come over" - that was totally news to me :-）。It reminded me a bit of "Desperate Housewives"， which I loved so much that I cried when it was over。 What a superb story！ I enjoyed every sentence of it （after getting used to the fact that in Irish English "to call over" obviously means "to come over" - that was totally news to me :-）。It reminded me a bit of "Desperate Housewives"， which I loved so much that I cried when it was over。 。。。more

I enjoyed Jo Spain's Dirty Little Secrets。 It was a well paced whodunit with enough suspects to keep me interested and entertained。 The use of Olive， the so called victim， to narrate some of the chapters was an entertaining if not wholly original plot device。 I enjoyed Jo Spain's Dirty Little Secrets。 It was a well paced whodunit with enough suspects to keep me interested and entertained。 The use of Olive， the so called victim， to narrate some of the chapters was an entertaining if not wholly original plot device。 。。。more

Las als een trein， vermakelijk ook。 Niet meer dan dat。 Daarvoor waren er misschien te veel personages。

weer een geweldige Jo Spain！ ik hou gewoon van haar schrijfstijl。 hoe ze personages weet tot leven te wekken， haar diepzinnige maar toch luchtige kijk op het leven。 en de plottwist aan het einde！ briljant！

Este estilo de tramas me gustan bastante: Una muerte en un vecindario exclusivo y unos pocos sospechosos con muchos secretos que ocultar。 Si además sumas que la muerta es una chismosa metomentodo tienes el disfrute asegurado。 Que lleve 3 meses en su casa muerta y que nadie se enterara es bastante inquietante。 Los capítulos son cortos y protagonizados por los distintos vecinos y sospechosos， los inspectores encargados del caso （un veterano hastiado y una joven inspectora con ganas de demostrar） y Este estilo de tramas me gustan bastante: Una muerte en un vecindario exclusivo y unos pocos sospechosos con muchos secretos que ocultar。 Si además sumas que la muerta es una chismosa metomentodo tienes el disfrute asegurado。 Que lleve 3 meses en su casa muerta y que nadie se enterara es bastante inquietante。 Los capítulos son cortos y protagonizados por los distintos vecinos y sospechosos， los inspectores encargados del caso （un veterano hastiado y una joven inspectora con ganas de demostrar） y por Olive， la vecina que aparece muerta en su casa y que nos habla desde "el más allá"。 Esta situación me ha resultado bastante divertida por momentos y es que las supuestas buenas intenciones de Olive no eran tan buenas。 Mentiras， secretos y muchos motivos para sospechar de todos。。。 hasta de los niños。Una lectura entretenida perfecta para desconectar。 。。。more

Totally enjoyed the book and read in one day。 Only caveat I have is it’s a bit unrealistic that in a close neighborhood of 7 houses， no one noticed Olive was missing。 Otherwise， I liked it and would read Jo Spain again。

Una urbanización donde aparece muerta una vecina; hay indicios homicidas。A lo largo de capítulos cortos sobre cada vecino se va conociendo la vida de ellos y como la relación entre todos no es nada idílica。 Todos tienen motivos para matar。 Todos tienen secretos que debido a la muerte se van descubriendo y uniendoles ante las desgracias。 El final ha sido un poco flojo y me ha dejado bastante indiferente。 Un libro para no pensar y pasar el rato。

4 1/2 stars。 I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would。 Just going from the synopsis， I wouldn't have read it at all， but a librarian recommended it， so I decided to give it a try。 It grabbed me from the beginning。I recommended it to my husband， and he enjoyed it， too。 4 1/2 stars。 I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would。 Just going from the synopsis， I wouldn't have read it at all， but a librarian recommended it， so I decided to give it a try。 It grabbed me from the beginning。I recommended it to my husband， and he enjoyed it， too。 。。。more

Makkelijk verteerbare detective。 Iets te simpel geschreven naar mijn zin。 Echter， de vaart blijft er goed in en het boek leest lekker weg。

Me costó un poco meterme。 Me liaba con los vecinos。 Pero me ha resultado entretenida ☺️

this unsavorily funny tale follows several points of view， one of them coming from a corpse rotting on achair for three months， forgotten in a most neighbourly way。 ♡

3 estrellas。 De 0 a 10: 6。Capítulos breves， buena dosificación de lo que se cuenta， desenlace correcto。Salen a la luz los secretos tanto de quienes rodeaban a la fallecida como los de l@s policías que investigan lo sucedido。 Interés e importancia desigual。Personajes con matices。 Según se va descubriendo lo que ocultan puede cambiar el deseo de que uno u otro sea culpable o inocente。Muy entretenida。

Spain is and will always be a go-to for me。 Few do character drama better - for me she is on par with Ruth Ware and Jamie Mason in the must-read category for that reason。 I can't really say much more。 This is just categorically Jo Spain。 You get her。。。 or you don't。 I do。 （Although I STILL miss Tom Reynolds！） Spain is and will always be a go-to for me。 Few do character drama better - for me she is on par with Ruth Ware and Jamie Mason in the must-read category for that reason。 I can't really say much more。 This is just categorically Jo Spain。 You get her。。。 or you don't。 I do。 （Although I STILL miss Tom Reynolds！） 。。。more

So many things happened and yet it was so oddly boring

Not a bad book， more characters in the book than fingers on your hands。 I didn’t see the twist coming but I can hardly say I’m shocked either。

An enjoyable Sunday afternoon read。 It’s probably more a 3。5 ⭐️ but I don’t feel it’s a 4。 Characters are interesting and the story moves along nicely but I don’t feel I got enough resolution in the end for the lives of the families。 I purchased after loving the Tom Reynolds series but this doesn’t quite match up。

I heard a lot of great things about this book - good word of mouth - but got bored 1/3 in。 The characters seem to bleed into one another， and as the story went on， I ended up disliking most of them。 Not the worse book I've read， but for me， it was a slog-feast。 I heard a lot of great things about this book - good word of mouth - but got bored 1/3 in。 The characters seem to bleed into one another， and as the story went on， I ended up disliking most of them。 Not the worse book I've read， but for me， it was a slog-feast。 。。。more

I loved this book and went through it at a rate of knots！ Short chapters from multiple character viewpoints kept it fast paced and really intriguing。 At first it was really hard to understand how Olive was so despised in her community and， when written in her voice， her reasons for her behaviour were plausible and convincing。 As the story unfolded， I was able to empathise with her less and less， and as each characters 'dirty little secret' was reveled， the idea of how well we know the people liv I loved this book and went through it at a rate of knots！ Short chapters from multiple character viewpoints kept it fast paced and really intriguing。 At first it was really hard to understand how Olive was so despised in her community and， when written in her voice， her reasons for her behaviour were plausible and convincing。 As the story unfolded， I was able to empathise with her less and less， and as each characters 'dirty little secret' was reveled， the idea of how well we know the people living closest to us was really brought into the light。This is not really my usual genre but it was not explicit in it's violence and it didn't make me need a light on at night， so it hit the right level of 'thrill' for me。 I read this in a couple of days as I found it hard to put down， so if you have a few days to loose in this book then I would thoroughly recommend it！ I will definitely read more novels by this author。 。。。more

This was a mindless bit of distraction but I really liked it。 I'm not entirely sure why I liked it but I did。 Almost all the characters are awful， just really not nice people， apart from the police officers investigating the death。 Even the dead person is basically a dick。 I enjoyed finding out all the secrets although having all those people living in the same gated community that appears to consist of 5 houses with those kind of secrets is pretty far fetched。 Even the children were written as This was a mindless bit of distraction but I really liked it。 I'm not entirely sure why I liked it but I did。 Almost all the characters are awful， just really not nice people， apart from the police officers investigating the death。 Even the dead person is basically a dick。 I enjoyed finding out all the secrets although having all those people living in the same gated community that appears to consist of 5 houses with those kind of secrets is pretty far fetched。 Even the children were written as potential little psychopaths， which I guess was to increase the mystery of precisely who could have killed this not-particularly-nice woman。 The only thing that threw me a bit was the only reason I know this book was set in Ireland is because the author told me。 At times it felt a little like an American writing about what they presume Irish life is like but the author lived in Dublin so that's not the case。 I don't know there was just a couple of things I thought was weird， like mentioning candy stripers in hospital which I thought were only in America but maybe not。 I've never been to Ireland so maybe my perception is just bollocks。 Anyway this book would be a good holiday read; the chapters are really short， the plot is fast paced， and you don't really need to think about where the story is going。 。。。more

Liked the Irish setting and all things Irish about the book。 Initially listened to the audio book over many journeys in the last 3 months。 We were about 3 hours from the end - when I came across a library book version and devoured it to the end quickly。 Nothing like 3 months to add mystery and anticipation to a book。 Good story and pleasing characters。

Love Jo Spain's writing。 This book was quite different from her others。 Very quirky & enjoyed the relationship between the 2 detectives。 The development of the characters was excellent。 Highly recommend this book。 Love Jo Spain's writing。 This book was quite different from her others。 Very quirky & enjoyed the relationship between the 2 detectives。 The development of the characters was excellent。 Highly recommend this book。 。。。more

A terrific binge book！This mystery filled with domestic drama is everything I desire from a （dare I use the word pleasure） read: engaging writing; three-dimensional characters; short chapters that demand "just one more"; and a （here I go again） satisfying， although somewhat unsurprising， climax ending。It contains adult content （putting the "dirty" in the 🧺 title）。 But despite mature—and dark—themes that will make your skin crawl （as might the maggots）， there's a light and breezy flow to it。 And A terrific binge book！This mystery filled with domestic drama is everything I desire from a （dare I use the word pleasure） read: engaging writing; three-dimensional characters; short chapters that demand "just one more"; and a （here I go again） satisfying， although somewhat unsurprising， climax ending。It contains adult content （putting the "dirty" in the 🧺 title）。 But despite mature—and dark—themes that will make your skin crawl （as might the maggots）， there's a light and breezy flow to it。 And humor。 A beach read for any lover of this genre who has soured on it as of late or is in a book slump。TW: domestic violence; stillbirth; porn addiction 。。。more
