Death and Other Occupational Hazards

An original and darkly comedic murder mystery about a female personified Death whose sabbatical in modern-day London gets rudely interrupted by a string of unplanned murders. Perfect for fans of Good Omens, The Good Place and Sophie Kinsella. 'Funny and smart. . . a top-class, deep-dish murder mystery and one of my favourite books of any year.' IAN MOORE 'Such an unusual and unique concept. . . By far one of my favourite books.' 5-STAR Reader Review 'Darkly funny, uniquely absurd and madly entertaining. . . I could practically hear Louis Armstrong crooning What a Wonderful World in the background.' 5-STAR Reader Review ----- Her job is to die for. Literally. Most people think that when they meet Death, it`ll be a skeleton in a black potato sack. Maybe with a scythe. Truth is, she`s just a woman doing a job, and she`s very good at it. But when Death takes a much-needed break to live on earth, things start to go terribly wrong. Someone`s killing people not on her list (well, not yet anyway) and it's down to her to find the culprit before it`s too late. To make matters worse, her sanctimonious sister, Life – whom Death hasn`t got on with in millennia – won`t stop blaming her . . . And then there`s the slight problem of the charming (sexy) parasitologist she`s suspicious of. But she`ll be fine, right? After all, who better to investigate a murder than Death herself? ----- Quirky, fun and witty, this is Death like you've never seen her before. A lover of bright colours, a fierce protector of nature and a human falling in love for the first time. Death's sharp voice will linger in your mind long after you've read. 'Wonderfully observed and brilliantly imagined. . . I never knew what was coming next, but at every point, it made me fall more in love with life.' LUAN GOLDIE
