Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"The over-the-top characters are a perfect representation of the wildly popular Real Housewives franchise. Some moments are genuinely shocking; readers will be surprised by the twists and turns throughout. Dahl's debut entertains from the first page."
--BOOKLIST "[A] breezy whodunit...mystery fans with a taste for the absurd will have a frothy good time."
--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Astrid Dahl's The Really Dead Wives of New Jersey is just as deliciously soapy as the shows that inspired it. This book is catty, sexy, and may be fatally addictive."
--ZAN ROMANOFF, author of Look and Grace & the Fever "Like the best, most addictive reality TV, The Really Dead Wives of New Jersey is about people behaving badly-- lying, cheating, back-stabbing and worse. I started reading for all the juicy drama but it was the murder mystery that had me racing through pages at the end."
--ANA REYES, New York Times bestselling author of The House in the Pines "Juicy, gossipy, and deliciously vicious, The Really Dead Wives of New Jersey is my platonic ideal of a novel. Whether this all-star cast of wives is throwing shade in their confessionals or literally killing to get more screen time, one thing is certain, this New Jersey neighborhood has enough secrets to guarantee renewal. Readers will be clamoring for Season Two of this funny, dark guilty pleasure."
--KATY HAYS, New York Times bestselling author of The Cloisters "Secrets, gallows humor, campy reality TV stars, and an Instagram gossip account called 'Shady Di'--Astrid Dahl's The Really Dead Wives of New Jersey is the kind of book I wanted to live inside. LOLing and gasping my way through, I nearly wished I'd written it myself!"
--ANNA DORN, author of Perfume & Pain "A reality show is a perfect vehicle for murder: Everyone lies, goads, manipulates, argues, cheats and steals. Why not add "kills" to the list?"
--WASHINGTON POST "Astrid Dahl's The Really Dead Wives of New Jersey, a murder mystery set on a Housewives-style reality show, effectively straddles the line between dark humor and genuine suspense."
