About The Book

Socially awkward, anxiety-riddled Beverly Bonnefinche only loves three things in life: her parents, books, and a homeless man named Bill. Without them, the only way Beverly manages to get by each day is with the help of a peculiar coping mechanism that allows her to dissolve her feelings. Yet everything changes for Beverly when she meets Henry, a persistent, friendly man who sees something in Beverly most people have missed. As their relationship develops, despite her best intentions, Beverly soon finds herself stepping outside of her carefully controlled life and forging new friendships. It’s only when a series of twists and turns threatens to unravel her new life, and her mind, that Beverly must determine if she’s got it in her to stop trudging through life—and finally start living it. Emotional and witty, Beverly Bonnefinche is Dead is an unforgettable story of love, loss, friendship, and what it means to find the courage to be who you are ultimately. Please note that Beverly Bonnefinche comes with important content warnings such as pregnancy loss, mental illness and attempted suicide.

About The Author

Marie Still, a New England native turned DC local, before settling into Florida life, torments her characters in thriller and horror novels. Under the pen name Kristen Seeley, she crafts tales of extraordinary women in her women's fiction novels. Her award-winning debut WE'RE ALL LYING snagged a spot on Buzzfeed's most anticipated mystery/thrillers of 2023, while her award-winning BEVERLY BONNEFINCHE IS DEAD is a 2024 Silver Falchion finalist. Her forthcoming novels include MY DARLINGS (2024), BAD THINGS HAPPENED IN THIS ROOM (2025), and SUCH A PRETTY THING (2025).

Off the page Marie can be found attempting to corral her four mostly friendly cats for a cuddle, surviving the affection from her very cuddly 150-lb Rottweiler, or keeping up with her four children. She's also known to surprise her incredibly supportive husband with a new cat, to which he doesn't complain (too much).
