Fabulous story!

Absolutely loved this book. The story lines, the characters, the settings, everything. Plus the added bonus that Graham narrates his books. I was sad that it ended.

Story
It all begins on a flight from Hobart to Sydney. The flight will be smooth. It will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off the plane. But almost all of them will be changed forever. Because on this ordinary flight, something extraordinary happens. 'A lady', unremarkable until she isn't, predicts how and when many of the passengers are going to die. For some, death is far in the future; for others, it is very close.

Fiona, Sue, and Daisy, three retired ladies who volunteer at the local charity shop, Dogs Need Nice Homes, can’t believe their favorite customer is dead. Eighty-six-year-old Sarah Brown was found murdered in her hallway by her delivery man, a domino clutched in her hand—with a name scratched on it. When another person is found dead with a domino in their hand, and with the police making no progress, the ladies will need to help unmask a serial killer. At least they have Fiona’s scruffy-haired terrier cross to assist them.

I liked how although the story jumped back and forth it was very clear with both the date being read out and the change of narrator. It made it much easier to follow. Couldn’t stop reading. I found myself finding time to pop in the ear buds and keep going along the day.

Enjoyed listening to the story. Had some laugh aloud moments. Kerry’s voice was great too but some of the plot was a little far fetched to believe. An arthritic older lady managing to stand up on a surfboard…. And not informing the manager when Glen came back….

Nice story but the narrators accents for a couple of characters were sometimes hard to bare. Felt like when a parent reads a story to a child and over accentuates the voices.
