Publisher's Summary
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.

Fun listen
This is my second Lily Chu listen. it was entertaining, fun and a pageturner. Ms Chu writes well and the performance was excellent. Just don't take it too seriously especially the extremely happy ending. Off to find another of her Audible originals

loved it
I really enjoy Lily Chu's books.
This one was engaging and endearing.
I guessed the 'plot twist' but that was largely inconsequential to the enjoyment of the story

Funny, Enjoyable Book with Great Narrator's
At first I was not enjoying John cho's narration.
The first 3 books from this author I had fallen in love with Phillipa Soo and her incredible story telling along with Lily's brilliant and mind consuming writing.
Yet, by the 4th chapter of John's readings I found myself looking forward to hearing his chapters along side Phillipa.
The Story is so different to the first 3. I love the mystery solving, light hearted, falling in love with careers at stake story. I enjoyed the pace of this book.
Adding another Book Crush to my List:
Sam, Jihoon, Teddy and now Wes.
Thank you Lily, for putting another Great Book into the world.

An all round enjoyable listen.
Fantastic narration that brought fun characters to life.
The book has your generic rom com vibes. But like all Lilly Chu books was throughly enjoyable and engrossing the entire book. The book actually made me laugh out loud and I really enjoyed the characters interactions.

Cute
It's a charming love story, nothing spectacular but very sweet. A little predictable in parts but still enjoyable.
