About this listen
Claire and Sophie aren't your typical murder investigators . . .
Claire Hendricks is a hapless 30-something true-crime fan working as a freelance medium. When she is Invited to an old university friend's country pile to provide entertainment for a family party, her best friend Sophie tags along. In fact, Sophie rarely leaves Claire's side, because she's been haunting her ever since she was murdered at the age of 17.
When the pair arrive at The Cloisters it's clear this family is hiding more than just the good china, as Claire realizes someone has recently met an untimely end at the house. Teaming up with the least unbearable members of the Wellington-Forge family—depressive ex-cop Basher and teenage reactionary Alex—Claire and Sophie determine to figure out not just whodunnit, but who they killed, why and when…
“Read this fabulous book—you will not regret it!”—Ben Aaronovitch

Such fun
This was so much fun! Sophie Roberts' narration really brought the story to life. A rough diamond amongst Audible's often-disappointing free offerings in the Plus catalogue. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the sequel.

Excellent and amusing writing - plotting could do better
Alice Bell is a lovely writer who creates vivid, engaging characters, and a lively immersion in the zeitgeist. However her plotting in this story is a bit all over the place, relying too much on coincidence, I feel, and not enough on action. But her other skills are so good, I'm sure she will plot more strongly with time, and her work will grow even stronger.
