Over My Dead Body

'I couldn't put this fabulous, first class, five star read down.' JANICE HALLETT

By: Maz Evans

Narrated by: 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 . . .

Critic reviews

A very different take on a whodunnit. Warm, wacky and witty. I loved it!

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)

Clever, wise and properly funny. An absolute triumph

Thoroughly wicked, compulsively page-turning, and funny as hell. (S J BENNETT)

Sometimes a book comes along that reminds you why you fell in love with reading. Imaginative, witty and original...an absolute joy!

A really entertaining read that will appeal to fans of Richard Osman

Clever, multilayered and a joy!

A triumph...there are also moving moments amid the hilarity

Splendidly offbeat whodunnit....Evans knows how to make an unlikely plot seem entirely believable.

Very funny!

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

Great story and narrator.

Had a hard time pausing it to live my actual life. I highly recommend it.

Enjoyable

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

What fun

I love sarcasm. And this book is full of it. Loved it and the characters. Hoping for a sequel.

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.
