This* was a fun diversion from my usual diet of crime thrillers. It's a very entertaining tale about the two major elements of existence, death and life, personified.
Death and Life are sisters, would you believe. Like most sisters, they bicker, sometimes hate each other, but mostly can't do without each other.
Death has been in charge of every single death over quite a few millennia and is singularly unimpressed when she learns of three 'unplanned' demises: ones she didn’t know about. Investigation is therefore essential. This entails a bright, mismatched, eccentric wardrobe, some unexpected friendships and some rather dicey situations, even for Death. See About the Book below.
Quirky, darkly comic but wonderfully entertaining.
Just a little note to Ms Dapunt. In your very comprehensive list of
acknowledgements (pet dog included), where was that nod to your readers? Whilst all your helpers are important, where
would you be without readers? Food for
thought.
