The final celebration of the wedding concerning Christ and the church remains a great mystery as Paul wrote in Ephesians 5:32. From Genesis to Revelation we will see the treasures and shadows that God has placed within His word, helping to strengthen our faith and give us an understanding of this incredible mystery.Throughout the inspired Scriptures, the marriage covenant is revealed, beautifully portraying the heavenly union the LORD has planned for His beloved. We will explore the earliest Hebrew "traditions" of marriage gleaned from Scripture to uncover a blueprint for a heavenly marriage designed by the King of kings and established in Christ before the foundation of the world. The Creator did not want mankind simply to be fruitful and multiply independently from Him, but for man and woman to live in an unbroken bond of unity as a reflection of God's triune existence. "'Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.' And it was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. And he said to me, Write, 'Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.' And he said to me, 'These are true words of God.'" Revelation 19:7-9

It all starts with a promise from a stranger: We'll take care of everything. Holly Kendrick's husband is dead. Holly saw it all. In one violent moment, a hit-and-run accident turns Holly's life upside down. Then a fixer for the high-powered guilty party approaches Holly with an offer she is in no position to refuse. Holly and her daughter, Savannah, will want for nothing, beginning with a luxury dream house--all for the price of their silence. But when their sudden appearance in privileged Calabasas, California, piques the curiosity of neighbors, the price becomes greater than they imagined. Because Holly and Savannah aren't the only ones in the neighborhood with something to hide. Told from alternating points of view, Good as Dead draws together an unlikely group of people bound to one another by a crime, a cover-up, and compounding deceptions. As carefully constructed lives begin to crumble, how far will everyone be willing to go to bury the truth and protect the people they love?

Review\n“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\n“A devilishly fun romp, full of eccentric characters and unexpected twists; Over Her Dead Body will keep you turning pages, pulling back the curtains on Hollywood from the point of view of a struggling actress, caught up in a mystery laced with darkly comedic beats. Thoroughly enjoyable!” ―Ben Mezrich, New York Times bestselling author of Bringing Down the House, The Accidental Billionaires, and The Midnight Ride\n“Susan Walter swerves the reader back and forth and around blind corners in a page-turning domestic psychodrama that will twist your sympathies and drop your jaw. An A-list Hollywood thrill ride, right through to the breathtaking end!” ―Judy Melinek & T.J. Mitchell, New York Times bestselling authors of Working Stiff, First Cut, and Aftershock\n“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\n“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\n“What a clever, fun, twisty, juicy ride! Over Her Dead Body will keep you guessing over and over with its kaleidoscope of conflicted characters, crisscrossed allegiances and masterful point-of-view shifts. Knives Out has nothing on this quintessential L.A. story of ambition, greed and good intentions gone wrong. You’ve never read a mystery quite like it.” ―Gary Goldstein, author of The Last Birthday Party\nAn 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.

A desperate woman. An irresistible invitation. An escalating nightmare of secrets, lies, and murder. 
Bree’s new home is luxurious and private, with a fancy Beverly Hills address. What a shame it’s not hers. Widowed, penniless, living in her car, and out of options, she’s climbed the fence and crashed in the pool house. All she wants is a good night’s sleep. But when Sophie, the absentee owner, finds her, she gets a whole lot more. 
Sophie invites Bree back for a party. When it winds down, Bree can’t resist sneaking upstairs to sleep in a real bed. But the next morning, she wakes to find Sophie’s dead body floating in the pool. As the resident vagabond, she’s both the only witness and the prime murder suspect. 
Bree knows she shouldn’t run, but her husband’s death was mysterious, too. If she’s going to clear her name, she’s going to have to work fast. Because the killer is still out there, and she’s next.
