In the exclusive gated community of Withered Vale in Dublin, one of the occupants is found dead, having lain undiscovered in her home for three months. When it becomes obvious that her death was no accident, detectives Frank Brazil and Emma Child suspect that the culprit is one of her neighbours. As they interview the residents, it becomes clear that each of them had secrets which Olive had discovered, and all of them had reason to have killed her. The narration alternates between all of the neighbours (seven houses in all) including Olive herself from beyond the grave, and the two detectives. This sounds like a lot of characters to keep straight, but Jo Spain did a super job of giving each character a distinctive voice. It's true that Olive was clearly a deluded and often deeply unpleasant character, but I'm not sure that this is a community anyone would want to be part of! Some of the neighbours had more damaging and salacious secrets than others as you would expect, and each of them had had a falling out with Olive. My favourite characters were the two detectives, who despite being of different eras and opinions, formed a respect and appreciation for each other. I was kept guessing right until the end, and the ending itself did come as a surprise. Overall, a great listen and I would definitely read or listen to more by Jo Spain. nice premise and has that cozy thriller kind of feel. characters were well developed and complex. their lives were complex. but i think it took away from the mystery element of the story. still was a nice read (listen). but then i didnt feel satisfied with the ending, so minus pints there. lots of other people seem to like it enough though. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The plot was great, very believable, something that could really happen in real life, the characters developed well throughout the book. Each chapter is told from a different neighbours POV.
Who would have thought so many people would have secrets hidden?
I would definitely recommend it to fans of psychological thrillers. You will not be disappointed. ( )
