#lesbian murder mystery

was lamenting to my gf that a book cleverly titled “The Afterwife” wasn’t a suki stackhouse-type romance/murder mystery about a zombie wife, to which my gf told me i should clearly write it myself, and of course my imagination went wild and i ended up writing a potential summary:

Anna Barclay’s wife, Meagan, was pronounced dead at the scene of a water-skating accident two weeks ago.

Except the coroner must have missed something, because the next Friday, Anna discovers a bedraggled, decidedly reanimated Meagan dripping on her doorstep and begging Anna’s help. Meagan doesn’t remember much of the incident, but she does know this: what happened on those skis wasn’t an accident. Her killer is still on the loose— and they’re running out of time before he finds a new victim.

With the help of a little black magic, Meagan and Anna embark on a mission to find out just who killed Meagan Barclay, why she’s back from the dead, and who the killer’s next victim might be— and in the process, remind themselves of what it truly means to be in love.
