Summary

There's been a second murder, and everyone left alive in the house is under suspicion. What was the meaning of the victim's final words, which were caught on tape? And why has one member of the group disappeared? The truth lies buried in the past; but in the zombie apocalypse, what's dead will never stay underground for long.

It's a comedy/drama not a horror.

I read the poor reviews and wasn't sure if it was worth listening to but I gave it a go anyway; I'm glad I did. If you're hoping for a horror story you'll be disappointed. There are zombies but they're not what the story is about. Equally, yes there is a murder but this is not Poirot. It's an interesting story grounded in an unusual setting (the zombies) with a firmly 'tongue in cheek' approach (the acting which isnt supposed to be Oscar winning) and a few gags along the way. Give it a chance, if you don't like it you can always turn it off.

Short, sharp fun and different.

I couldn't quite face another full on zombie story quite yet but this was something fresh and new which kept me listening over Easter.
It could very easily have been a 20 hour marathon covering every detail, instead it was just a simple zombie story revolving around a mystery in a large manor house.
Just enough zombie action for fans and some good writing to keep you listening. Each part of the story has enough story to keep you listening and wanting to know more.

I am tending to prefer this tighter less baggy chapter setup rather than a epic novels.

I would recommend this to any zombie fans who want something different. If you are a die hard gore fan, then stay well away. This is PG.
