Review :
Atmospheric, suspenseful and studded with interesting recipes, this is a compelling take on marriage, motherhood, love, and the sacrifices that women are routinely expected to make Dazzlingly original, inserting elements of gothic horror and recipes into a murder mystery Elegant, often scary and a terrific read Deliciously wicked... A thriller on another level, where you're satisfyingly uneasy in Maria's company - but it makes for all the more delectable read [A] very moreish thriller A domestic thriller dressed up as a lifestyle book, complete with recipes, personal confessions, and more than a pinch of unease. It's structured like a tasting menu, but one where every course hides something unsettling beneath the surface Balancing gothic drama and grand guignolesque hints of terrors... The novel quickly moves into fifth gear and then sheer overdrive as the two women battle both mentally and physically. Wicked fun A deliciously dark tale with a mouth-watering mystery at its heart - I devoured it in two sittings A sizzling read sauced with scares galore and a side order of irresistible recipes Deliciously dark and full of tasty twists guiding the reader a brilliantly shocking finale. This gets a banging five stars from me Devilish, tense and exquisitely cooked up, The Dead Husband Cookbook is both nail-biting and deeply satisfying...

Yes, please! Danielle Valentine's atmospheric chiller made my jaw drop and my mouth water with its fresh, original twists... I absolutely devoured it A satisfying page-turner. Twisty, fun and surprising A simmering stew of secrets and suspense. The Dead Husband Cookbook serves up a gourmet thriller where every recipe has a hint of danger. Domestic bliss meets bloodshed. You'll want seconds! Matriarchs, meatballs and murder are the perfect recipe for an utterly irresistible page-turner. Valentine has cooked up a storm!

Dine finely on fresh characters and storytelling with a garnish of the deliciously grotesque Delightfully twisted and utterly delicious. It had me gripped from the very first page and wouldn't let up until that shocking and satisfying ending. Danielle Valentine is a master of the horror thriller Forget five stars, The Dead Husband Cookbook deserves a Michelin star! I read it in one, single serving; an absolute page turner from start to finish Another twisty thriller from Danielle Valentine of American Horror Story fame.

Safe to say, I devoured it. Danielle Valentine has created another gripping, immersive world Knives Out meets The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo with a pinch of Nora Ephron's Heartburn, The Dead Husband Cookbook takes a murder mystery, rolled in family drama, and roasts it in the heat of feminine fury.
