Over My Dead Body
by Maz Evans
☆ Shortlisted for the 2024 CWA Gold Dagger
Over My Dead Body by Maz Evans is a great mystery book to pick up if you’re in the mood for laughter. According to the preface, this is Evans’s first book for adults and it is very, very funny. The chief protagonist, Miriam Price, is a doctor who has been murdered after going on a bender and tries to arrange her own murder investigation from beyond the grave. The humour is tightly packed and possibly quite British, so it might be worth trying out a sample to see if you like it before buying the book.
