Catherine is on her way home in a state of rage to confront her husband Art. She never makes it home alive, but her rage still gets there. Strange things begin to happen, a foul odor of decay fills the house and Art must get to the truth behind Catherine's death if he ever wants to be free of her.
This was a fun, quick, and quirky read, reminiscent of the stories I read as a teen in the old horror comics.

Art Stanhope has got some serious problems with his loved ones! His wife, super crazy, commits suicide- or does she? Catherine comes back from the grave to exact revenge on the people who hurt her. Art, his son Connor, his girlfriend (which happens to be his dead wife’s sister), and his father must find a way to rid themselves of Catherine for good. They can only do this by having the person who really killed Catherine, kill her once again. But everyone has a reason for wanting her dead…
Okay, this book wasn’t terrible, but it just didn’t really do anything for me. There were two parts that got my pulse going a little but then just sort of fizzled with the outcome. It was all so predictable that I found it hard to really just enjoy it. The one thing going for this book, is that it is a short read.
I will say I did like the main character. Art Stanhope, he could use a little more development, but he was enjoyable as a leading character. The other characters were really just background noise. I think though Catherine could have been a great nemesis if she had been developed a little more as well. Maybe having such a short story was actually a bad idea, the synopsis is fantastic, but it just sort of didn’t make the mark.
I don’t think this is a series, but it could definitely become one. I don’t think I’ll read any type of sequel. However, as this is my first book from the author, I will attempt another one if it crosses my path.

I could kiss J.G. Faherty. I’ve not had the best run of books lately, with a couple 3/5 or less in a row. I was getting frustrated and beginning to get into a reading slump when I read Death Do Us Part. It bolstered up my inner bookworm, reminding me that hidden gems really are everywhere, and refueled my desire to read.
In the Dedication to Death Do Us Part, he mentions Tales from the Crypt and the Vault of Horror as being early loves of his. That is so obvious in Death Do Us Part. Its a deliciously creepy tale that you can just see being introduced by a cackling Crypt Keeper, and you quite happily read and hallucinate vividly for all 84 pages.
This is a fantastic vengeance/ghost/zombie story and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick horror read!
