Dalia's life in the witness protection program is both dangerous and intriguing. Once Poppy is accused of complicity, she wants everything Dalia out of her life. "I liked the story because the characters were slowly introduced, and the concept was humorous. Their personalities weren't one dimensional or predictable. This created an interesting dynamic of a story and kept you guessing. It was interesting to see how Poppy preferred to wear the clothes of a dead person just to bring her luck. This displayed the struggles actors face trying to get noticed. The comical story is thought-provoking and enjoyable to read. I recommend this book to murder mystery story readers and those who like entertaining reads." Jeyran Main, Review Tales (magazine) "There's a Dead Girl in My Yard by Angela Page and Mia Altieri is an exciting read for fans of suspense and crime thrillers. It's a page turner and will be hard for you to put down. Angela Page and Mia Altieri narrate their story from two perspectives. We can hear the raspy voice of Iris, relating the story of her life with all its ups and downs, including her fight with cancer. The main storyline belongs to Poppy, and it's full of wry humor and self-analysis. The writing style allows us to distinguish these two different voices and see their uniqueness and originality. Page and Altieri did a great job creating the unpredictable plot. The lives of Poppy and Iris become interconnected to create a web of entanglement. Page and Altieri write about two women in different circumstances but both strong and determined not to give up despite their age or terminal illness. The book introduced striking secondary characters, like old Amapola, who taught Iris the magical ways and predicted her future, or amazing Olmo, Poppy's chivalrous love interest. The touch of Caribbean mysticism reminded me of the works of the great Gabriel García Márquez. I hope to read more of Poppy's dizzying adventures." Nino Lobildadze, Readers Favorites
