Life after Death is the third book in the series of thrilling, heart-warming and sometimes laugh out loud Cosy Mystery novels, that relate the mad antics of a group of sixty-something New Zealand women as they delve into the darker side of life and murder.

The trouble started when the luscious Dave, visiting to try to patch things up with me, Lydia Thompson, was setting up Sylvia's DVD – she was moving into a new place to start life with her fiancé, Harry. Dave used a recently recorded current events programme to check it was working properly, and who did Sylvia think she saw – her husband, Doug. Trouble was, he had been declared dead years ago after disappearing on a solo hunting trip.

What do you do when a friend thinks she could be about to commit bigamy? You start investigating of course.

Is it Doug, or did she see a doppelganger?

Three of the girls and I, aided and abetted by Dave, set out to prove which one Sylvia saw.

The trail leads us out of Gisborne and to the West Coast of New Zealand, with a whole new police force to terrorise – and a whole new darker side of humanity to become tangled up with.
