What to expect
Blum has a secret buried deep in her past.
She thought she'd left the past behind.
But then Mark, the man she loves, dies.
His death looks like a hit-and-run. It isn't a hit-and-run. Mark has been killed by the men he was investigating.
And then, suddenly, Blum rediscovers what she's capable of...
KILL BILL meets DEXTER via THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, WOMAN OF THE DEAD is a wild ride of a thriller where the first stage of grief is revenge. And revenge is a dish best served bloody.

Critics Review
-
One of the most arresting thrillers I’ve read for years. Hypnotic! Aichner plumbs the darkest depths of the human psyche in this compelling tale of a female undertaker. As a mother, Blum is touching and relatable. But as a vengeful wife determined to hunt down her husband’s killers… Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
Lisa Gardner -
An ironclad guarantee of sleepless nights
INDEPENDENT -
Aichner has a talent for keeping readers hooked – this is a gripping read and the character of Blum lives long in the mind.
TELEGRAPH -
Woman of the Dead is a horrifying thriller with strong links to Jeff Linday’s Dexter . . . Aichner’s character is so strongly realised that, like Dexter, the reader wills her on to succeed. Woman of the Dead will surprise as it horrifies.
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD -
There is a wicked and thrilling high concept to the story, lots of action, and a sexy and dangerous female protagonist.
CRIME FICTION LOVER -
A wonderful thriller about love and retribution – playful, dark and dangerous – I read it in one sitting
