Disha Bose’s

SECRETS, DESIRE, BLOOD... It all comes out in the wash

NANA .jpg

Keep your friends close and your neighbours closer...


Ciara has it all - a loving husband, well-behaved children and an immaculate home. But behind the filters, her reality is far from what it seems.
Mishti is stuck in a loveless marriage, raising her daughter in a country that is too cold, among children who look nothing like her.
Lauren is mostly happy, despite being judged for letting her kids run naked, wild and free.
Then Ciara is found murdered in her pristine home and suddenly everyone is a suspect.
Hushed whispers, secret rendezvous and bloody betrayals . . .
Everyone has their dirty laundry, but this goes beyond gossip.
This is all-out war.


A deliciously scandalous page-turner about the dark side of suburbia that peels back the layers of Ciara's insta-perfect life to reveal friendships gone rotten, manipulation masquerading as love and families riddled with lies . . .


Praise for Dirty Laundry


“Undoubtedly establishes Bose as an exciting new voice in commercial fiction, one that is sure to bring a little welcome darkness to summer holiday reading this year”

“A delicious take on people behaving badly.. Lethal, entertaining, and filled with characters you’ll love to hate and won’t soon forget”

Darby Kane, Pretty Little Wife
