Jenny makes a living running a beauty spa for the wealthy and entitled women of Buckhead. When a murder investigation begins, she takes us back to the recent drama of the town… and the women.

Jeneva Rose has a solid spot as one of my favorite authors now. She hit it out of the park again. I’ve never seen Real Housewives but I imagine this book is similar, but on steroids. It’s drama, drama, drama, cattiness, scandal, and death. There’s also mystery, twists, and dare I say… friendships? You won’t regret picking this one up!

“Buckhead was complicated, intricate, like a spider’s web - so beautiful to look at, but so easy to get entangled in. Only the spiders know how to navigate the web without getting stuck. And I was a spider.”

One of Us Is Dead comes out 4/26.

Wow. This was truly a phenomenal read and I could not put it down. The concept of this story was so unique and it was G O L D. I loved how we were dropped pieces of what happened but didn’t actually know who it was about. And then you think you have everything figured out and it’s tied up in a neat package, but NOPE! PLOT TWIST. From the characters, to the writing style, and the setting and the twists, this is a book I guarantee you’ll want to read in one sitting. One a rating scale of 1-5, I give this book 6 stars!

Rich housewives thriller. It was pretty fast paced, I was never bored. The twists of course are all right at the end but it wasn’t painful getting there. The characters are all so over the top and self obsessed. If you liked Desperate Housewives or Big Little Lies you will like this book.

I will be posting a review of this book on Instagram as well.

Well this was a fun read!!!! Jeneva Rose's talent is clear as soon as you begin the first chapter. This book reminded me of the television show, Desperate Housewives but WAY better.

I love how the story is told through multiple points of view . Although some characters you will love to hate, the character development was on point and these women really came to life. I would consider this a bit of a thriller but it does have a bit of humor .

One of Us is Dead follows the lives of rich, privileged, catty women. These women love their wine but not one another. I get such a thrill out of books like this!

Run to read this one!
Gossip, drama, backstabbing ladies who you love to hate. This book was twisted and so entertaining! A scandalous thriller you definitely do not want to miss!!

Buckhead is an upscale community with some very wealthy people and families. None more so then a group of women, Olivia, Karen, Shannon and the newly girl Crystal. The women spend a large chunk of their time gossiping and hanging out at the local salon owned by Jenny. Jenny is the owner/“therapist”of the community and everyone tells her everything. There is so much chaos going on in all their lives but When one of ladies turns up dead the police start to investigate what happened. There are many secrets among the women of Buckhead and its anyones guess which one got them killed.

This book was fantastic from start to finish. I had not had a chance to read the authors first book but I saw great reviews on it. The author also has a great Tik tok account which is fun to watch. I was hooked on this story from page 1. The chapters go between the present time and telling what occurred in the past. The present storylines has manny teasers that just keep you reading. The ending was a complete shock and surprise in the best way possible. I highly recommend you check this out and I think you will really enjoy it if you were into Desperate Housewives or The Real Housewives as it has those vibes.

Such a wonderfully written mind-candy of a domestic thriller. Packed to the brim with all things super rich people drama and how deep and dark their lives truly are. I absolutely loved the main setting of being in a high-end beauty salon and all of the juicy drama that was revealed there. I found the multiple similar POVs a little confusing at first but really enjoyed this one. I finished it in one sitting curled up on my couch, such a great popcorn read!

Unlikeable characters, a bunch of catty women, a hair salon, and a lot of secrets! I’m not big on drama in real life but this book was a fun escape for sure. Thanks so much to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

Out of all the “housewife” thrillers I’ve read, this one features the most deliciously evil villain!

The women of Buckhead are known for being plastic/beautiful, wealthy, and downright vicious.

Shannon has always been the most powerful woman of Buckhead…until now. Her politician husband, Bryce, divorces her and remarries a younger woman. Shannon is used goods.

Olivia has been dying to be the queen bee-yotch for years, and finally gets her chance now that Shannon isn’t married to a powerful man. Olivia will do anything to be on top, and doesn’t care who gets hurt along the way.

Crystal is the younger woman who marries Blake. She came from Texas and has never been around wealth. Just wait until she sees what she’s dealing with.

Karen works hard for what she has, and is the only one with both a husband and child. If only life in Buckhead could be peaceful, but that’s not going to happen with this group.

Jenny owns a salon that all of the women are serviced at. Just like a bartender or cab driver, she’s privy to plenty of tantalizing secrets.

Too bad some of these secrets will get someone killed.

This was an absolute blast to read. Some of the characters are so atrocious and wickedly deceiving. There are also some I rooted for. The biting dialogue is darkly humorous with plenty of snark and bitchiness. There are so many juicy secrets and threads, some of them downright cringeworthy in the best way. The different POVs are successful in building suspense, and the delectable ending is absolutely perfect for these folks!

This is definitely a popcorn thriller, and so well done at that. I loved it, and look forward to reading more from this author.

4.5 stars.

Thank you to Netgalley, Blackstone Publishing, and Jeneva Rose for the ARC of this book!

I read somewhere that this book was described as the book version of The Real Housewives — these women all have their own issues and they’re all just a bit catty. But OLIVIA - the biggest bitch of them all. This also felt more like middle school drama (one person trying to be the head bitch and control all her friends).

The twists and turns kept me intrigued, the flip from past to present was a little weird for me and once it came altogether, it was explained away very quickly. I saw the death coming a mile away, even though the author was trying to hide who it was for a majority of the book.

The ending was very predictable but also not?? I’m not quite sure how to explain it! It just didn’t WOW me - I did enjoy it though and would recommend to anyone who loves The Real Housewives and enjoys a bunch of catty ladies trying to kill each other.

Set in Buckhead, Georgia, this book is centered on 4 wealthy housewives and their hairstylist. Shannon, former queen bee, has been dumped by her husband and replaced by Crystal. Crystal, a country girl from Texas, is doing her best to fit in and find her place. Karen, a real estate mogul and mom is struggling in her marriage. Olivia, a manipulative mean girl, wants to be the new queen bee and she will stop at nothing to get there. Jenny, their hairstylist, knows all their secrets, but quietly blends into the background while pampering the women and playing peacekeeper. And one of them is dead...

This book is full of juicy secrets, designer clothing, and catty quips. I loved every second of it. It was like watching a combination of The Real Housewives + Big Little Lies. And even better, I never saw the ending coming! This is one of my favorite recent reads.

Thank you to NetGalley and Jeneva Rose for the ARC of this book. This is my first novel by Jeneva Rose and I will definitely seek out more from her. Featuring some truly unlikable characters with a Real Housewives drama, this story was addictive. Told in dual timelines and from many different points of view, she crafted a crazy look into the heads of these rich and spoiled women. The plot twists were not easy for me to predict and I stayed up way too late needing to finish it!

This book gives delicious vibes of The Real Housewives where you love to hate certain characters! I loved all of the delicious and juicy details and the plotting and murder! So much fun to watch it all unravel! This was definitely my guilty pleasure of thx year!

Jeneva Rose does it again! One of Us Is Dead was fun to read and was hard to put down at times. The story follows and is narrated by 5 women living in the wealthy town of Buckhead with drama and lies similar to what you'd see in The Real Housewives, aside for the fact that someone ends up dead. This was a classic whodunit that flipped between present time and the past that had me guessing until the very end. It did take me longer than usual to get into, but I ended up enjoying this story and did not predict the end in the slightest. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my advanced copy and opportunity to review!

Well, I just gobbled this novel right up! A page turning, fun, but not deep mystery/thriller. Just the perfect note for a weekend read during covid.

This books was weird. While most of the changing narrators worked, the character of Olivia was too self aware to make sense as a first person narrator. The characters felt mostly one-dimensional and the ending made no sense to me.

One of Us is Dead was such a fun popcorn murder mystery! It was addicting reading about these rich, unlikeable characters. It felt like Desperate Housewives and Big Little Lies with the gossip, betrayal, and lots of drama.

I was drawn into the unique premise that you know someone has been murdered, but you don’t find out who or who did it until the end. There were lots of twists that I didn’t see coming and the ending was truly satisfying.

Well this was a fun read!!!! Jeneva Rose's talent is clear as soon as you begin the first chapter. This book reminded me of the television show, Desperate Housewives but WAY better.

I love how the story is told through multiple points of view . Although some characters you will love to hate, the character development was on point and these women really came to life. I would consider this a bit of a thriller but it does have a bit of humor .

This is without a doubt a five star read and I can not wait to see what Jeneva Rose comes out with next! I am a true fan after reading One of Us is Dead.

Another twisty thriller from Jeneva Rose that had me guessing til the very end! Told in a similar fashion as Big Little Lies, the layers of mystery are slowly peeled back through multiple POVs and movement between past and present. Every time I thought I could take a break and put it down, a chapter ended with a big fat question mark so I ended up reading this in one sitting. If you enjoyed Rose's The Perfect Marriage, you'll enjoy this story of sassy women, repulsive men and how secrets lead to murder.

Totally fun, bad people behaving badly. group of women who simultaneously loving and hating one another, screwing each other in one way or another. Some of the characters were a bit predictable and one dimensional, but I didn't find that hurt them at all.

Seeing the inevitable unfold, and the rather nicely tied up ending made this a fun and fast read. Enjoy!
