''Laugh-out-loud hilarious, moving and life affirming. How can one book be so many things? I couldn''t put this fabulous, first class, five star read down.'' JANICE HALLETT''Thoroughly wicked, compulsively page-turning, and funny as hell.'' S J BENNETTHello? Can you hear me? Probably not. I''m Dr Miriam Price . . . and I''m dead.The local police, who couldn''t investigate their own nostrils, think I drank myself into an early grave. The nerve! I was murdered. I was just too plastered to know whodunnit, that''s all.Unless I prove to my inquest this week that my death was no ''misadventure'', I''m condemned to 50 years in Limbo. I have to find my killer - but I can''t communicate with any living human. Well, there''s one, but she barely qualifies . . . Winnie - my neighbour and nemesis. It seems the dying can interact with the dead, which is helpful news for me, if not stellar for Winnie. Oh well. She''ll live. Maybe.Suspects? How long have you got? My saintly husband, who''d reached his limit? My best friend, who was anything but? My secret lover, or his wife? My disgruntled colleague? The mother who wrongly holds me responsible for her child''s death? Professor Plum? Your guess is as good as mine.So Winnie - slap on your deerstalker and strap on your granny pants. Let''s catch a killer! Assuming we don''t kill each other first . . .''A triumph...there are also moving moments amid the hilarity'' DAILY MIRROR''Splendidly offbeat whodunnit....Evans knows how to make an unlikely plot seem entirely believable'' DAILY EXPRESS''Sometimes a book comes along that reminds you why you fell in love with reading. Imaginative, witty and original...an absolute joy!'' WOMAN & HOME

A headmistress is dead. The circumstances are suspicious.And as every parent knows, being on the school group chat can be murder...

''Deliciously funny'' MARTINA COLE''Clever and wickedly funny'' THE SUN''Pure fun in book form, a laugh out loud murder mystery with great characters and a page turning plot. It''s a book you won''t be able to put down!'' C L MILLER

As educators go, Claudia Stitchwell makes Miss Hannigan look like Miss Honey.But when the reviled headteacher drops dead in the school hall, a group of sceptical parents suspect the nut allergy explanation doesn''t add up - they believe someone wanted to teach Miss Stitchwell a lesson. Only four people could have killed Stitchwell: Hattie, the adored school cook; Kiera, the hard-working teaching assistant; Clive, the loathed school bursar and Ben, the popular deputy head. All of them are liars... but only one is the murderer. Piecing together evidence from the daily drama and drudgery of the parents'' group chat, local press, police reports, school newsletters, and good, old-fashioned gossip, the determined detective parents are doing their homework to crack the case.

Will you spot the clues? Can you deduce whodunnit? And for the love of all things holy, does anyone have this week''s spellings?

''Brilliantly witty and suspenseful...a delightful blend of humour and mystery that kept me guessing until the end'' JOANNA WALLACE''A hilarious whodunit filled with so much heart, and a cast characters you''ll love to pieces but suspect of doing a murder all at once'' KATE WESTON
