A Dead Husband by Anna Celeste Burke
4.0
Thanks to Voracious Readers and Anna Celeste Burke for a free e-book in exchange for an honest review.
A Dead Husband is a mystery novel with a great opening paragraph-fast-moving and had me snickering in amusement. 30-something soon-to-be divorcee Jessica is a sometime lawyer, sometime former party girl.
"Everyone was having a great time at your divorce party except you," comments her long-time best friend Tommy.
Jessica's friend Laura comes home at the end of the night out to find her husband Roger murdered in the hallway of their home. The police are looking at Laura as a suspect, and Laura asks Jessica for help. Jessica becomes a bit of an amateur investigator and ends up in the killer's crosshairs.
This was a fun read-I really liked Jessica and her group of friends who were trying to find out "who done it." The story was well-written, despite a few odd tense changes from past to present, and a paragraph where third person "Jessica" suddenly changes to first person "I" partway through.
A Dead Husband gets four out of five stars from me, and I would read other books in this series.
