'Funny and smart . . . one of my favourite books of any year' IAN MOORE, bestselling author of Death and Croissants'There are shades of Terry Pratchett in Dapunt's debut novel . . . An entertaining page-turner with plenty of metaphysical fun and games' THE GUARDIAN'A total SCREAM' JANICE HALLETT, bestselling author of The Appeal---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?More praise for Death and Other Occupational Hazards:'Wickedly irreverent and clever' IRISH INDEPENDENT'Gripped me from the start and kept me hooked to the end' DAILY MAIL'A constant grin of a novel' SFX'Gloriously absurdist, darkly comic and utterly readable' HELEN LEDERER'Wonderfully observed and brilliantly imagined. . . it made me fall more in love with life' LUAN GOLDIE'A tour de deathly force' ALICE BELL
