Over Her Dead Body

Ruth Watkins is pretending to be a serial killer...

Two years ago, Ruth was an ambitious journalist on the trail of a serial killer with a very specific calling card. Then her best friend became the latest victim, and Ruth's life fell apart. When police shelve the case, Ruth decides there is only one way to force them to keep looking: make him kill again. Or at least, make it look like he has...

The good news: working at a funeral home has its perks, like access to fresh hearts she can use to stage convincing crime scenes.

The bad news: the real killer has noticed Ruth's 'work' too, and now it's not just the police trying to catch her...

A darkly hilarious thriller about grief, revenge, and the surprisingly thin line between solving a murder and creative corpse management. Perfect for fans of How to Kill Your Family and Listen for the Lie.

'Pitch-perfect black humor.' Observer
