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

A very different take on a whodunnit. Warm, wacky and witty. I loved it!

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)

Clever, wise and properly funny. An absolute triumph

Thoroughly wicked, compulsively page-turning, and funny as hell. (S J BENNETT)

Sometimes a book comes along that reminds you why you fell in love with reading. Imaginative, witty and original...an absolute joy!

A really entertaining read that will appeal to fans of Richard Osman

Clever, multilayered and a joy!

A triumph...there are also moving moments amid the hilarity

Splendidly offbeat whodunnit....Evans knows how to make an unlikely plot seem entirely believable.

Most relevant

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? :)
