Don't Tell Me How to Die A Novel

"What begins as a mystery-tinted character study transforms into a full-bore thriller, with a spate of jaw-dropping twists that recast the entire narrative. Readers should be prepared to stay up all night." --Publishers Weekly "A razor-sharp domestic thriller about a dying woman's desperate mission to handpick her husband's next wife--and she'll stop at nothing to get the job done. Darkly funny and relentlessly suspenseful, Karp displays every skill as one of the greatest storytellers of our generation." --Joe Donahue, host of The Book Show on NPR I have one thing to do before I die.And time is running out. I had it all: a fantastic husband, two great kids, an exciting career. And then, at the age of forty-three, I found out I would be dead before my next birthday. My mother also died young. I was seventeen, and she warned me that women would flock to my suddenly single father like stray cats to an overturned milk truck. They did.
