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)

Just Brill

I love Maz Evans, She is funny and captivating. My daughter and I enjoy lots of her other books. This has adult content but is fabulous and heart
warming.

Really loved this-original and very entertaining

I listen to a lot of audio…and I love to find a new author who is interesting and funny.
Cosy crime and magical realism are two of my favourite genres and this combines the two with vim and vigour.
It kept me guessing until the end (despite my efforts to think of how something might look the other way up or back to front!)

The narration was great (certainly enthusiastic!) and I would definitely buy a sequel…please?
Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep finding new authors and books? :)

Loved it from start to finish

I only ever listen to audio books while I’m out on a walk and found myself heading out the door just to get back to the book! It had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion. I loved the book and I loved the narration. Do not be put off by the negative reviews, I am so glad I ignored them. Enjoy!

Fantastic!

What a fabulous book - made even better by Maz Evans’ narration. With perfect observation and pacing, it was a proper laugh out loud read which then managed to have me choked up later. My favourite book so far this year. Loved it!

Marvellous Maz

Another fantastic book by Maz made even more special by the author reading her own book 💗

Very funny

A heart warming and funny story. Narration brought it to life. A lovely balance of cynicism, comedy and humanity. Loved it.

Worth the effort

Despite the verrrry enthusiastic and energetic narration (from the author I think?) I did stick with this to the end.

The reason I did, well, it was a good mix of characterisation and story with fairly well thought out ‘fun’ concepts and a reasonable twist at the end.
