Drop Dead

De: Lily Chu

Narrado por: Phillipa Soo, John Cho

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.

Heartwarming

I listen to a lot of romance books of various levels of spice. This had basically none but it didn’t need it. The story and growth of the characters was captivating enough on its own.
I’ve enjoyed all of the books Lily Cho has written and listened to them all on Audible.

I love Lily Chu!

I was so excited when I saw Chu’s new release. Her characters are so interesting. Her female lead is fun, strong, and realistic. The romance always leaves me smiling. And Phillips Soo does an excellent job in her portrayal of Nadine. Love it!!!

How entertaining it was

I will admit I am a creature of habit, and I had a hard time deciding to dedicate time to listen to a writer I have never listened to, nevertheless I went ahead and clicked the play button and I am so happy I did, loved the story and the characters were just delicious, I do think there could have been more elaboration at the end of the book but the ending was perfection.

A cute and engaging book!

It was an easy listen and the voice actors did a fabulous job. The story kept you hooked.

Not bad but not great either

I'm always up for a good romance so when I saw this on my recommendation

Adorable! Wonderful Story and Narration!

Love the characters, the story and the cats! The narration was beautiful. I am really loving this author. Her audio books are so fun and creative.

The narration is unengaging

I'm not sure if it was just the droning narration or just that the story was flat. I finally gave up on listening because I just couldn't connect with the story.

Great story!

Great story! Binged this one. The narrrators sounded a little robotic at times, but it was overall great

Cute but slow

I liked the book overall but it was slow. The male narrator is awful. I am a big fan of Lily Chu’s other books, but this 1 was just meh.

I love this author!!!

I love this author! I download her books every time they come out 🙂 the narration was also perfect, as always! keep up the great work!
