Now, no one wants to admit they’re zombies…So they all hide it under veils, gloves, masks, and eat “cauliflower” via secret food delivery company.
It’s set in historical period, with a main character who is constantly telling us that’s she’s destined to be a spinster because she’ll never marry and who dresses up as a man to help her father solve gruesome murders, because no fine lady would ever do such a thing.
The main character was so boring and 2D dimensional and all her dialogue was very “I’m not like all the other vain delicate girls out there and I’m fine being single-“ only for her to be forced into proximity with a man she hates. Oh no.
The forced pairing between the main character and the man who’s rude to everyone was so unbearable.
The story felt kinda slow and was a little confusing. The premise took me such a long time to get over because it seemed so silly, but the way the world was built around it was interesting. It almost felt thought out but the “mystery” really fell flat for me.
It also tried to be humorous but honestly it just came off as annoying.
I won’t be reading the second book.
(Received as an audiobook via Storygraph giveaway.)

This book was simply divine! From start to finish I enjoyed the story, the characters and the writing. The narrator was fabulous and her telling of the story was wonderful.
It was also very easy to listen to and I found myself so relaxed when it was playing, it was hardly a challenge at all to want to keep going. The ending perfectly set up the series for ongoing books and I'm certain I'll be purchasing all of them in Audio form as soon as I've finished writing this review.
Personally I cannot find any fault with this Audiobook and I am thoroughly looking forward to reading the rest of Hannah's adventures.
