The Really Dead Housewives of New Jersey

By Astrid Dahl

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reading this book was like watching a series of Real Housewives on Bravo. Even the fictional tv network is called Huzzah. 

The ‘newcomer’ with the mysterious past winds up dead. 

All hell breaks loose and more people die… and while the plot is somewhat transparent, it was no less entertaining. 

It’s marketed as a thriller but it isn’t really a thriller. Maybe more of a psychological drama/mystery hybrid? 

I enjoyed it. 

I think to be five stars, I would have needed a couple more layers to the plot. It was just a touch transparent for me.

Read if: you enjoy mysteries, thrillers, or the scripted-reality of television.
