About this listen

 The brilliant and darkly hilarious debut novel about how the past can come back to haunt you (literally) by the New York Times bestselling author of Everyone Here Is Lying, Shari Lapena.

Harold Walker, desperately average, is in the throes of a mid-life depression. His wife Audrey clings to an illusory sense of control—over their home, their teenaged sons, Dylan and John, and her own explosive secret. The death of a long-estranged friend triggers a series of perturbing events that catapults Harold out of his La-Z-Boy and throws the household into chaos. Things go flying when the dead begin communicating with Harold, leaving Audrey's secret vulnerable to exposure, and Harold more confused than ever. What these familiar voices from the afterlife ultimately reveal is just how little the living know about living. Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Satire Witty Funny

Shari Lapena is definitely a fave author. the humour in all the books is excellent, almost British and therefore naturally funny.
The narrators are excellent and this one was really good. Harold and his family were portrayed brilliantly and it was easy to relate to them, laugh at them and with them.
Listen to this and be prepared to laugh out loud at times at the subtle but very funny humour.

excellent humour and narration
