One Death at a Time

De: Abbi Waxman

Narrado por: Patti Murin

“Abbi Waxman is both irreverent and thoughtful.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Giffin

A cranky former actress teams up with her Gen Z sobriety sponsor to solve the murder that threatens to send her back to prison in this dazzling new mystery novel from the USA Today bestselling author of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill.

When Julia Mann, a bad-tempered ex-actress and professional thorn in the side of authority, runs into Natasha Mason at an AA meeting, it’s anything but a meet-cute. Julia just found a dead body in her swimming pool, and the cops say she did it (she already went to jail for murder once, so now they think she’s making a habit of it). Mason is eager to clear Julia’s name and help keep her sober, but all Julia wants is for Mason to leave her alone.

As their investigation ranges from the Hollywood Hills to the world of burlesque to the country clubs of Palm Springs, this unconventional team realizes their shared love of sarcasm and poor life choices are proving to be a powerful combination. Will secrets from their past trip them up, or will their team of showgirls, cat burglars, and Hollywood agents help them stay one step ahead? Are dead piranhas, false noses, and a giant martini glass important clues or simply your typical day in Los Angeles? And will they manage to solve the crime before they kill each other, or worse, fall off the wagon? Trying to keep it simple and take it easy is one thing—trying to find a murderer before they kill again is a whole other program.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Waxman's mystery is a sly female bonding manifesto: It's Thelma & Louise without booze or Brad Pitt.”—Oprah Daily

"An absolute rollercoaster ride of a mystery! Loaded with hilarity and heart, it is impossible not to get attached to this snarky dynamic duo and their shenanigans. A must read for mystery lovers and fans of Hacks, there is something in this fabulous multi-generational journey for every reader."—Jenn McKinlay, New York Times bestselling author of A Merry Little Murder Plot

“Hold on to your non-alco drinks because a new detective dream team has arrived. Meet Julia and Mason: recovering, rebellious, and gloriously sarcastic. I ugly-snorted too many times to count. A fabulous mystery, characters with depth, and a total hoot too. More please!”—Alison Goodman, New York Times bestselling author of The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies

I could not stop listening to this book

I enjoyed the entire story. It was funny, the characters were written so you could see them. Great read and listen. There is a sequel?

Abbi Waxman Does it Again

These are two charming characters that I could read about probably for the rest of my life. I know Abbi loves romcom, but man did I love this mystery.

So much fun!

I sooooooo hope she's making this into a series! So quirky and fun. Listened on audio as well as read and the audio was absolutely fantastic. This would make a great TV series too.
