Publisher's Summary
Who is Malinda Albert Kabalana? How did he die?
Renegade war photographer Maali Almeida has to solve his own murder. Does that sound fun? It would be if there wasn’t so much bloody red-tape to get through. Oh and it’s not as though anyone alive actually seems to miss him, and it certainly doesn’t help that his girlfriend is related to his boyfriend. Worst of all, it’s all those goddamn memories of war, constantly interrupted by the overly chatty dead folks breezing through the afterlife. Besides, he’s so busy solving his ethical dilemmas that there’s barely any time to solve a murder—even if it’s his own.
A compulsively enjoyable dark comedy of life-death and everything in between—Chats with the Dead searingly exposes the plight of a country caught in the aftermath of civil war. Its deliciously compelling absurdity holds you in thrall right from the very first moment up to its startling denouement, constantly upending its own premise with its staggering humanity.
Shehan Karunatilaka has delivered a classic whodunit with a brilliant twist.

A Captivating Tale: An Audiobook Worth Every Momen
I was completely engrossed, gripping the edge of my seat throughout the entire audiobook. Shehan Karunatilaka's masterful writing style captured my attention from start to finish. What truly set this book apart was the ingenious use of the second person perspective by the protagonist as the narrator. I had never encountered such a unique narrative technique before, and it added an extra layer of depth and immersion to the story.
I must also commend Anuj Dutta for his exceptional performance as the narrator. His ability to bring the characters to life and convey their emotions with such finesse was truly remarkable.
