About this ebook

'Dark, funny, well-plotted, sinister. Superb' WILL DEAN

Six neighbours. Six secrets. Six reasons to want Olive Collins dead.

In the exclusive gated community of Withered Vale, people's lives appear as perfect as their beautifully manicured lawns. Money, success, privilege - the residents have it all. Life is good.

There's just one problem.

Olive Collins' dead body has been rotting inside number four for the last three months. Her neighbours say they're shocked at the discovery but nobody thought to check on her when she vanished from sight.

The police start to ask questions and the seemingly flawless façade begins to crack. Because, when it comes to Olive's neighbours, it seems each of them has something to hide, something to lose and everything to gain from her death.

This is a very poignant book reminiscent of Margaret Millar and Charlotte Armstrong. There is a character like Larry from Three's Company who I LOVED, and he has the most heart-breaking scene of all.

hard to read. slow. too much back and forth and stories and names to remember. not even a good ending to make it worthwhile.
