The Really Dead Wives of New Jersey

A propulsive page-turning thriller following the hit reality TV show Garden State Goddesses where secrets are uncovered, intense rivalries surface, and a startling murder propels a producer on a riveting quest for the truth.

Meet the Garden State Goddesses, the cast of Huzzah’s third most popular show:

“I may play for both teams, but when it comes to being real, I always bring my A game.” —Renee Ricci

“When life gives me lemons, I make citron presse´ on my yacht in Saint- Tropez.” —Birdie St. Clair

“I don’t bite, but I do scratch, and these talons are 100 percent Italian.” —Carmela Fontana

When Hope Bennett marries Carmela’s brother Leo she not only becomes a Fontana, but a Garden State Goddess—and not everyone is happy.

Secrets will be revealed, decades-long rivalries will surface, and a sudden murder will lead to a reality reckoning no one is prepared for, least of all the show’s producer Eden who must race to catch a killer and save the most dramatic season of all time.

“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
