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
'Original and clever. . . a tour de deathly force.' ALICE BELL
'A total SCREAM.' JANICE HALLETT
