Summary

An utterly original, hilarious and heart-warming novel about a murdered woman investigating her own death, perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett and S J Bennett.

When the misanthropic Dr Miriam Price wakes up dead, her day has only just started to go wrong.

With everyone mistakenly thinking she killed herself, she's condemned to half a century in Limbo as a 'Death By Misadventure' - unless she can prove that she was murdered. Unable to communicate with anyone living, Miriam's investigative options look decidedly limited.

But she soon realises that Winnie, her elderly next-door neighbour - and mortal enemy - can see, hear and talk to her. The good news for Miriam is that the dying can interact with the dead. The bad news for Winnie is that if she can see Miriam, she hasn't got long to live. Now this unlikely detective duo must work together to solve Miriam's murder - and maybe avert Winnie's death - before time runs out for them both. And before they 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)

Funny and quirky

Not my normal genre but was a fantastically light and funny change. Doesn’t take itself too seriously and you can’t help fall in love with it’s main characters. Just don’t overthink the subject of the afterlife aspect and enjoy it for what it is- a quirky funny human life story

FUNNY (haha!) TAKE ON LIFE AND DEATH

The storyline was original and quite funny in parts.
Interesting enough to keep me wanting to know what happened next, with a very satisfying ending.

The narrator distinguished each character well preventing confusion, so I'll listen to her again.
Most appreciated.

Thank you Audible 😊
