Our view
“Dial A for Aunties” is a comedy caper that runs on absurdity, a murder mystery folded into a family farce. Some readers find that the plot asks them to suspend disbelief more than once, and add that this very silliness is the fun. The tone stays light throughout. It opens a trilogy and is for anyone who likes their crime played for laughs.
