Publisher's summary

The brilliant and darkly hilarious debut novel about how the past can come back to haunt you (literally) by the New York Times bestselling author of Everyone Here Is Lying, Shari Lapena.

Harold Walker, desperately average, is in the throes of a mid-life depression. His wife Audrey clings to an illusory sense of control—over their home, their teenaged sons, Dylan and John, and her own explosive secret. The death of a long-estranged friend triggers a series of perturbing events that catapults Harold out of his La-Z-Boy and throws the household into chaos. Things go flying when the dead begin communicating with Harold, leaving Audrey's secret vulnerable to exposure, and Harold more confused than ever. What these familiar voices from the afterlife ultimately reveal is just how little the living know about living.

Shari, stick with mysteries please!

Please stick with mysteries. This is not funny nor interesting. It did not grab me at all. I had to start it over a few times and it is taking me a month to get through.

Only because of my love of your mystery books have I decided to plow through to the end and not give up. Please, please, bring us another mystery book! You are excellent at that genre. I do, however applaud you for attempting something outside of the box. It wasn’t horrible. It just wasn’t great.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
