This claims it's a mystery, although the cover and blurb look/sound more like a rom-com. But I was just caught by the concept of the "modern-day Tudor thing" - with billionaire Hank Tudor running Tudor Enterprises; the ex-wives (and current new wife) all carefully named after Henry XIII's wives; Hank's two kids, Lizzie and Teddy; and his fixer (!!!) Tom Cromwell. And of course, the title:
An Inconvenient Wife. And the victim - a headless body. And that other headless body from eight years ago...
I haven't read anything by Karen E Olson, so this may be a bust, but if it is, at least it'll be an inexpensive bust, because
An Inconvenient Wife is on sale for $1.99 in the US right now as part of today's US Daily Deal, and matched at Kobo US.

Quote:
This astonishing crime novel—inspired by the Tudor era—takes the reader into the world of Kate Parker, who has just married billionaire Hank Tudor when a headless body is discovered near their summer home . . .
Kate Parker knows what she’s getting into when she marries billionaire businessman Hank Tudor—she’s his sixth wife, after all, and was by his side (as his assistant) when his fifth marriage to actress Caitlyn Howard fell apart.
But honeymoon plans go awry when a headless body is discovered near Hank’s summer home, forcing Kate to contend with two more of his exes: Catherine Alvarez—the first—who lives as a shut-in with her computers, carefully following Tudor Enterprises; and Anna Klein—the fourth—who runs a bed-and-breakfast where she and her wife keep a steady eye on things—particularly Hank’s children, Lizzie and Teddy.
In this clever and suspenseful reimagining of Tudor era betrayals, these three women become entwined in a deadly game of cat and mouse—with each other, Hank, and Hank’s brilliant fixer, Tom Cromwell—as Kate seeks to solve the puzzle of who the murdered woman is, who killed her, and whether her death has any connection to the other headless body from eight years ago.
