About this listen

Hello? Can you hear me? Probably not. I'm Dr Miriam Price . . . and I'm dead.

The local police, who couldn't investigate their own nostrils, think I drank myself into an early grave. The nerve! I was murdered. I was just too plastered to know whodunnit, that's all.

Unless I prove to my inquest this week that my death was no 'misadventure', I'm condemned to 50 years in Limbo. I have to find my killer - but I can't communicate with any living human. Well, there's one, but she barely qualifies . . . Winnie - my neighbour and nemesis. It seems the dying can interact with the dead, which is helpful news for me, if not stellar for Winnie. Oh well. She'll live. Maybe.

Suspects? How long have you got? My saintly husband, who'd reached his limit? My best friend, who was anything but? My secret lover, or his wife? My disgruntled colleague? The mother who wrongly holds me responsible for her child's death? Professor Plum? Your guess is as good as mine.

So Winnie - slap on your deerstalker and strap on your granny pants. Let's catch a killer! Assuming we don't kill each other first . . .

Critic Reviews

Laugh-out-loud hilarious, moving and life affirming. How can one book be so many things? I couldn't put this fabulous, first class, five star read down. (JANICE HALLETT)
Thoroughly wicked, compulsively page-turning, and funny as hell. (S J BENNETT)

Maz Evans, you're a literary genius! This book was like a tornado of brilliance—I devoured it like a bookworm at a reading feast and still wanted seconds! Miriam and Winnie were just pure gold! I upped the ante by pairing the read with the audiobook, where Evans herself spun her enchanting words. After closing the book, I was left with a massive book hangover from all the fun! Now, I'm here, tapping my foot and twiddling my thumbs, eagerly anticipating your next magical masterpiece!

Loved it!

One of the best books I’ve listened to - loved now Maz narrated and captured the tone of all her characters so well and made the murder mystery plot so logical where the ending made sense! An amazing listen. 10/10 recommend. The witty humour was so good

An extremely fun, engagingly witty, murder mystery
