Summary

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

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 😊
