I chose Over My Dead Body by Britney King to review.
I received an ARC copy of the e-book for an honest review.
------------------------------------------------------
Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
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.
From bestselling psychological thriller author Britney King comes Over Her Dead Body, a sharp, darkly funny thriller for fans of Finlay Donovan Is Killing It, First Lie Wins, and Dead to Me—featuring a presumed-dead husband, a furious widow with a plane ticket to Lisbon, and one very bad week.

Brilliant work once again!! Is Emma's dead husband really alive? Did she see him? Why would someone do that to someone you love?
I can't wait to read what Emma gets into in the follow-up book, Swipe Right to Murder, coming out in January 2027. Write that down in your calendar!!
