I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Summary:
Penny Perkins, journalist, upstanding citizen, dutiful bridesmaid, just killed her date. Smashed him on the head with a bottle of Misty Mangoberry Merlot. She is tipsy and panicked. She is wearing a heinous pink bridesmaid dress that makes her irrational. Penny knows she should call the cops and explain her date’s grabby hands, his crazy eyes. She should cry self-defense. She should do a lot of things she doesn’t do. Things are about to get real complicated for Penny, as her dead date’s life unravels into a mystery the deeper she investigates. Death just happens to be her job. She’s the newspaper’s obituary writer.
Review:
I have been looking forward to this book like crazy, and what it a delight it was to get it read! Obitchuary is a fab chick lit read – but with a mystery twist, which I love! I have to say, the prologue was awesome. It had me questioning Penny right off the bat and wondering why and how she killed her date. Would I like Penny? I wouldn’t like a murderer…would I? But of course, being chick lit I’m going to love the MC, and everything is explained shortly into the book. This novel was super funny, lots of catchy conversations, well-written characters, and a happy ending. I highly recommend and hope to read more soon from Stephanie Hayes!
