'Get ready to fall in love with this likeable and flawed version of the not-so-grim reaperCULTUREFLY

An original and darkly comedic debut about a female personified Death whose sabbatical gets rudely interrupted by a string of unplanned murders. A runner-up for the Comedy Women in Print Prize and perfect for fans of Good Omens.


'Funny and smart . . . one of my favourite books of any year' IAN MOORE, bestselling author of Death and Croissants

'Gripped me from the start and kept me hooked to the end' DAILY MAIL

'A total SCREAM' JANICE HALLETT, bestselling author of The Appeal

'Wickedly irreverent and clever' IRISH INDEPENDENT

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?
