Dirty Little Secrets Theory Page

Welcome to the Dirty Little Secrets Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the Dirty Little Secrets series.

Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * Hookup with Sadie Hotchmitch: Some players seem to believe that we will be able to hookup with Sadie.
 * Desperate Housewives: Another inspiration for this book might be the show that goes by that name.
 * Serial Killer: Due to the similar ways that Valerie and Carpenter's wife died, some players theorize that we are dealing with a serial killer, and that there's only one person behind both of those deaths.
 * Carpenter will be the Big Bad: There are some who believe that the writers will subvert expectations and have Carpenter, the only love interest in this story, be revealed as the Big Bad and have it be he/she only helped you investigate to throw you off his/her trail. This is strengthened with the discovery of your house's blueprints and a foxglove petal in his/her shed in Chapter 15.
 * Yvette as the Big Bad: Alternatively, other players have pointed out that Yvette's behaviour and some of her scenes are suspicious, claiming that if Carpenter isn't the killer, then it's highly likely that she's the killer instead.
 * Sadie: Due to Chapter 18's summary, some players have started believing that Sadie is innocent, a red-herring, and that she is the next victim, killed by Carpenter either for threatening and harassing us, or for another reason entirely.

Confirmed Theories

 * Inspiration: Some players theorize that this book is inspired from the show Pretty Little Liars. This is confirmed through one of PB's videos on TikTok, which mentions this specific show as one of their inspirations.
 * Single-LI: Given the recent surge in single-love interest books, it is believed this one will be too. This is strengthened with the mention of a devastatingly-charming next-door neighbor, who could be the only love interest. This is confirmed in Chapter 1.
 * Mature-Themed Story: Given the word "Dirty", there is a theory that this will be a mature-themed story. This is confirmed at the beginning of Chapter 1, where it is mentioned that the story contains mature sexual content, and that player discretion is advised.
 * Mystery: Many players theorize that this will be a mystery book like Veil of Secrets or Crimes of Passion. This is confirmed with PB's comments on one of their TikTok videos, and by book's Mystery tag.
 * Sadie Hotchmitch as an Antagonist: Some players seem to believe that Sadie will be an antagonist. This is confirmed with her attitude towards us throughout the story, and with Chapter 8, where she claims that she will tear our house down in order to build a community center.

Debunked Theories

 * Female Lead: Given the recent surge in female-lead stories, it is believed this one will be too. This is debunked when PB announced through their Tiktok account that this Book will feature a gender customizable main character.
