 Synopsis (AmazonAU)

My husband is dead.

I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car.

My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.

So why do I still see his face everywhere I go?

My Take

The author begins this book with an Author's Note: This book is a satire

 This is Freida McFadden poking fun at herself, including in the novella a number of the tropes we often see in crime fiction novels. And the solution to why she keeps seeing her dead husband: obvious, but also odd.

As promised a quick read.

My rating: 4.4
