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.

Another great story for audible listeners. It makes you wonder what comes next but gives the satisfaction of knowing soon after.

Great premise but slow
I love Lily Chu’s books but this one seemed to drag. The male narrator didn’t seem to be a great fit and the story could have been edited to be a faster pace like her other audiobooks. I liked the premise for the book, however it wasn’t well executed unfortunately.

Sweet, cosy tale
This was very sweet and entertaining story. A cosy romance, no spice. Lots of funny moments and great characters. The voice acting was great.

loved it
I really enjoy Lily Chu's books.
This one was engaging and endearing.
I guessed the 'plot twist' but that was largely inconsequential to the enjoyment of the story

Fun listen
This is my second Lily Chu listen. it was entertaining, fun and a pageturner. Ms Chu writes well and the performance was excellent. Just don't take it too seriously especially the extremely happy ending. Off to find another of her Audible originals

The house was its own character. Loved it.
Loved the intrigue and the people and their stories were interesting. Incorporated old and new seamlessly throughout
