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.

Very funny, really well written story. Modern day with fun exchanges between characters. Engaging, interesting and hilarious content. Horrendous narration!!! So easy to read but almost impossible to listen to! I tried for several hours due to driving but it was hell on earth (excuse the pun) I’ve never struggled that much with any audible prior to this. The main bulk of my reading is audible.

Very funny, well written story. Horrendous narration.

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.

Thank you for writing, narrating and bringing to the world this delightful and creative story. It was an absolute joy to listen to and left me feeling so damn good! Better than good!

Delightful and uplifting!

Gloriously read by the author. Likeable and not so likeable characters in equal measure and delightful that the main subject had flaws running through her. Interesting approach and some laugh out loud moments and some “hay fever” moments too. A good ending too much more than a line and the snap of the back cover. Looking forward to more from Maz Evans

This is not my usual read but it sounded interesting and it sure was. I found the narrator a little annoying at first (too chirpy for my sad glum self) but after a few chapters I don’t think it would have suited anyone else and i actually enjoyed listening to the narration.

The story line was fun and there were so many laugh out load moments. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Unexpectedly brilliant!
