Publisher's 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)

What a lovely surprise!

The description of this book made me hesitate- how could this end well? Turned out to be the best audible purchase I’ve made in a long time. Just give it a listen - this book is a rare gem 🌟 and genuinely hilarious

Out of nowhere delightful!

I really enjoyed both the story and narration. Usually, when authors read their own books the best I’ll think is, “they did alright for an author,” but she was a wonderful narrator in her own right. I love heart warming books with cool character relationships and this didn’t disappoint. For a moment I thought the main character was going to be unsympathetic, but I was thankfully wrong!

Quick with

I love a good mystery especially with an unlikely heroine. This story has it all, and one of the better last lines in books!

Never a Dull Moment!

All the five star reviews are well deserved. Besides writing a terrific book,, Maz is an outstanding narrator. As well as being an entertaining book from start to finish, it is a clever mystery I did not solve,. I highly recommend.
