Perfect for fans of Good Omens, The Good Place and Sophie Kinsella.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Such an unusual and unique concept. . .

Literally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut when Death takes a much-needed break to live on earth, things start to go terribly wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSomeone’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut she’ll be fine, right?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter all, who better to investigate a murder than Death herself?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e-----\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQuirky, fun and witty, this is Death like you've never seen her before.

Death's sharp voice will linger in your mind long after you've read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Wonderfully observed and brilliantly imagined. . .
