MY REVIEW
I found Britney King when she published The Water Trilogy and I have never looked back. When I saw an opportunity to get my hands on a copy of Over Her Dead Body, I couldn’t resist…and I was not disappointed. Britney King has a writing style that can suck you in from the opening pages and keep you rapidly flipping pages through the easy to read chapters, making the pace of the story flow smoothly.
Imagine Emma Callaway’s surprise when she arrives at the airport to hop on a plane to Vienna. Seeing her dead husband, she hops on a plane to Vienna instead and proceeds to stalk him. Emma is great at reading people, but she finds herself over her head when the danger finds her.
I love stories where secrets are exposed. Emma may discover the secrets hidden in Over Her Dead Body, but there are more mysteries coming and I look forward to finding out what is in store for her in the future.
GOODREADS BLURB
A widow, a grave, and a husband who was supposed to be in it.
Emma Calloway has been a widow for ten years. She has the grave to prove it. She has the life to prove it, too—the career, the house, the hard-won peace of a woman who rebuilt everything around an absence.
So when she misses her flight and turns around to find her dead husband very much alive and buying coffee at the neighboring gate, Emma does what any calm, reasonable woman would do.
She gets on his flight.
Emma is excellent at reading people. It’s what makes her one of the most respected auctioneers in the business. She walks into rooms full of strangers and beautiful things, figures out what everyone is really worth, and rarely gets it wrong.
But Reid isn’t just not dead. He’s living under another name, running from something dangerous, and moving through a world Emma thought belonged to her.
The lies he left behind are nothing compared to the life he’s been living without her.
And the kind of trouble he’s in does not appreciate a very composed, very angry widow asking questions.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, Emma has never been very good at letting things go.
