Summary
An inheritance that comes with a warning.
Ashley Brooks’s life isn’t working out as planned. After years of struggling to make it in Hollywood, she’s still waiting for her big break. When fate leads her to the doorstep of legendary casting director Louisa Lake George, Ashley thinks her luck is about to change: the prickly old pro knows about a role she’s perfect for. The aspiring actress never gets to thank her, though, because the day after the audition, Louisa is dead. The bigger shock—she left all her money to Ashley.
Louisa’s grown children arrive stunned and ready to fight. Her nephew tries to play peacemaker, while Ashley grapples with why Louisa would leave her fortune to a stranger—and whether she should keep it. But Ashley quickly discovers everyone, including the dead woman, is hiding something, and it’s a race to get to the truth before someone else winds up dead.
Critic reviews
“Over Her Dead Body is a psychological thrill ride that takes us into world of Hollywood and the heart of a family with deeply hidden secrets. Susan Walter is a master storyteller with an insider's view of the film business, and her novel glints with danger and brilliant insight into the hopes and dreams of an aspiring actress. I read it in one sitting, guessing the whole way through, stunned by the conclusion.”—Luann Rice, New York Times best-selling author of The Shadow Box and Last Day
“Where there’s a hefty will, there’s a way. With its eccentric ensemble cast and all the family drama of Knives Out, Over Her Dead Body is darkly funny and highly entertaining with more twists than a bus tour through the Hollywood Hills. Fans of Janet Evanovich and Elle Cosimano will be delighted.”—Tessa Wegert, author of Death in the Family
“Over Her Dead Body is a whodunnit with more twists and turns than a boardwalk roller coaster, where secrets abound and nothing is what it seems. If you're looking for a book that will keep you turning pages deep into the night, Susan Walter has absolutely written one.”—Barbara Davis, bestselling author of The Keeper of Happy Endings

Easy read
Good overall story even if slightly predictable in some parts. Character relationships are well thought through and with enough relevance to the overall plot of the story.

Just OK
Predictable and boring storyline, but the narration is excellent. Maybe good for a totally mindless listen.

Ok - I’d rate it like 5/10
I didn’t like all the narratives- some voices were annoying & it got confusing. Decent story but I couldn’t concentrate bc of all the characters & so many narrators - ruined the book for me

Wow
I have had this in my library for a few months and had ran out of books to listen to. This is one great book and can't believe it took me so long to get to.
I think the description didn't do it justice.
It had so many moments of twists and turns (which I love) No spoilers,just see for yourself!

Totally captivating, really fun suspense
A great puzzle and an all-around fantastic audiobook. The narrator who reads Louisa, in particular, is perfect. So entertaining. Loved it!

Sneaky, cinematic thriller
Wow. At the beginning, this book fooled me into thinking it was going to be just okay, maybe even a little silly. But it was a sly thriller indeed. Highly cinematic— I could see the movie in my mind. Highly recommended!

Disappointed
This book is not a thriller or it's a light weight thriller maybe. I won't say I struggled to finish but I don't recommend it as it just isn't that good.

Good Story Great Characters
The cast of characters made this story. They were all so unique and having their own literal voice narrated clearly added to the depth of their personalities. Nice twists and plot divinations. Overall a great listen.
Narration was spectacular with the many talented narrators!!
