About this listen
One mysterious mansion. Two rival journalists. Three weeks to uncover the story—and love—of a lifetime. Don’t miss this unforgettable romantic comedy performed by Phillipa Soo and John Cho!
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive.
Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal. Intrigued, Wes goes to the source to learn more—only to discover Nadine had the exact same idea…and the infuriating woman isn’t willing to respect dibs. Typical.
At first, Dot refuses to speak to either of the squabbling pair, but then they receive an unusual request—work together, and Dot will share everything. The offer seems too good to be true…and of course, it is: in a bitter twist of irony, Dot dies for real before she can finish recounting her story. Not all is lost, however. The estate’s executor allows Wes and Nadine access to Dot’s sprawling wonderland of a mansion for three weeks to find their answer. That’s three weeks of working together…three weeks of endless sweltering in tight spaces…three weeks of learning there could be something more between them than a desire to win at any cost.
And maybe, just maybe, under the rubble of all those could-have-beens they’ll uncover more than the secret of Dot Voline’s long-ago scandal—and Lady Death will finally embrace what she’s wanted from life all along.

Amazing way of turning the sad into the glad!
Honestly, I didn’t think that I would enjoy this book and it took a couple of chapters for me to get into, but I did. It had me smiling so hard my face hurt. A simple story with all you could want. Romance, death, love and not forgetting cats and overprotective, manipulating moms! Give it a read/listen. You will be glad you did!

Irma and the cat posse
I loved the characterisation in this! Irma and the other kitties still managed to be tue standouts though!

Kind of mixed
I did like this, but I prefer Lilly Chu’s other books. I thought Nadine’s and Wes’s chemistry was kind of random in parts, so I Found it harder to believe. I would have liked to see more of Dott!

A beautiful, interesting story
This gentle mystery was satisfying due to the characterisation and humour of its characters. The character of Wes's mother will be unknown to many, and may seem extreme, but the author nailed it, and the ensuing effect on Wes was bang on. The decency of the two main characters was a relief, and the clever plot twists made for a really pleasurable reed. The narrators are first class.

Such a sweet story where you think you know the plot but don’t.
Love this author and the narrators.
You think you know the story and you get a little disappointed but you are wrong. It’s not the point of the story at all.
Great listen/read.

Thoroughly enjoyable.
Boy meets girl, usual ups and downs, but a good storyline that kept me interested and listening. And it was free!

Loved the characters
Excellent love story within a world of distrust the characters were real and mostly charming plus family not sentimental but also real

Great voice performances
Rare to see a male and female voice actor and this has worked really well on this. Great story too, characters with depth and it doesn’t fall into the usual romance book tropes.
