Description

In this delightfully infectious novel of love and intrigue, Leslie Glass puts a sly and sexy spin on two of lifes most devastating certainties: death and taxes.

Cassandra Sales is a woman with a gift for nurturing thingsher husband, the successful wine importer; her two adult children; the fabulous flowers in her garden. After twenty-six years of marriage, however, Cassies husband, Mitch, is spending more time skipping abroad than remaining at home with her. Tired of being a modest Long Island housewife who cant even remember what its like to be kissed, Cassie has a face-lift to recapture her youthful allure. The surprise for her husband goes awry when Mitch returns home early from a business trip. When he sees the post-op horror show, he collapses on the spot.

The resulting coma may spare Mitch from the tax audit hes facing, but Cassie is forced to step in and research the facts of her own life. What she discovers about Mitch and the family business shocks her to the core: her loving husband was preparing to divorce her, swindle her out of tons of money, and run off with another woman.

As Cassie recuperates, she realizes what shes after is revenge. Big time. But she soon learns that the road to retribution can lead to unforeseen and often deadly complications.

In Over His Dead Body, Leslie Glass blends supreme suspense and warm-hearted romantic comedy into a perfect mlange that is as inevitable as. . . death and taxes.

Reviews

For fans of Susan Isaacs and Olivia Goldsmith . . . A winner.
Library Journal

[Glass] displays the same wit and steady hand [as] Susan Isaacs, cleverly capturing the style and pretensions of life in the New York suburbs.
Orlando Sentinel

In her wryly humorous and richly textured novel, Leslie Glass reminds us that sometimes life is a minefield that can only be traversed . . . Over His Dead Body.
JUDY FITZWATER, author of Dying to Get Her Man

Scabrously funny...a romantic comedy in basic black."
