Over My Dead Body

De: Maz Evans

Narrado por: Maz Evans

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 . . .

Reseñas de la Crítica

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)

Enjoyable

I loved the character development in this one.All the characters are hillarious as well. You won't be disappointed

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!

Smart and funny

I loved the storyline, but the author also made me laugh out loud at some of the dialogue—in a good way. The narrator was excellent, and the only thing I don’t understand is why this isn’t a huge bestseller. Easy read, fun read, smart read.

brilliant

i hope she stays in the adult gene. excellent novel and highly relatable. hilarious dialogue

Very funny!

The characters were so funny and relatable. The story was entertaining with a great plot twist!

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

Incredible!

I loved this book. The humor and story was amazing. Think “Beetlejuice” meets “The Good Place”. Great way to break of the dark tone of so many murder mysteries.

Loved this!!!

Hooked me and kept me...need more books like this and loved the audio...the narration is spot on!

I genuinely laughed out loud.

Dr. Price was not a "good" woman and it becomes clear early on why someone wanted her dead. BUT she is an interesting, flawed, funny, and likable character. The murder mystery is the 4th most intriguing thing about the book - not to say it was bad. Just that the relationships in the book were more interesting. I listened to this over the course of a day. I wish I had paced myself. It was an utterly enjoyable listen. Maz Evans was a superb narrator.

Tons of fun

If your looking for a fun mystery read this is the book for you. I loved everything about this book.
