About this listen
One mysterious mansion. Two rival journalists. Three weeks to uncover the story—and love—of a lifetime. Don’t miss this unforgettable romantic comedy performed by Phillipa Soo and John Cho!
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive.
Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal. Intrigued, Wes goes to the source to learn more—only to discover Nadine had the exact same idea…and the infuriating woman isn’t willing to respect dibs. Typical.
At first, Dot refuses to speak to either of the squabbling pair, but then they receive an unusual request—work together, and Dot will share everything. The offer seems too good to be true…and of course, it is: in a bitter twist of irony, Dot dies for real before she can finish recounting her story. Not all is lost, however. The estate’s executor allows Wes and Nadine access to Dot’s sprawling wonderland of a mansion for three weeks to find their answer. That’s three weeks of working together…three weeks of endless sweltering in tight spaces…three weeks of learning there could be something more between them than a desire to win at any cost.
And maybe, just maybe, under the rubble of all those could-have-beens they’ll uncover more than the secret of Dot Voline’s long-ago scandal—and Lady Death will finally embrace what she’s wanted from life all along.

Great premise but slow
I love Lily Chu’s books but this one seemed to drag. The male narrator didn’t seem to be a great fit and the story could have been edited to be a faster pace like her other audiobooks. I liked the premise for the book, however it wasn’t well executed unfortunately.

A bright Dot in my Day.
This story is sassy, playful, heartfelt and had a great underlining mystery. Wonderfully performed and written. Loved it completely.

What a wonderful mystery romance, I loved it
I listened to this whole story in a day, I was really surprised and delighted by how well the story followed the lives of the two protagonists and it had fantastic imagery that set scenes well. I appreciate how clean this story was, not needing to go into trashy sexual detail but still very much capturing a fully loving couple. I loved the story, thankyou for writing it Lily chu.

Really enjoyable
Another great listen from Lily Chu. I’m not a big romance fan, but I really enjoy Chu’s books, because the characters don’t usually make silly decisions, the characters are fun and try to understand each other, and I like the workplace drama. Highly recommend!!
