SHORTLISTED FOR THE COMEDY WOMEN IN PRINT PRIZE. Good Omens meets Bella Mackie in this wickedly funny, joyful and twisted murder mystery about Death leading a murder investigation while on earth for her once-in-a-millennium sabbatical. 'I laughed, I cried (no, seriously, I ugly cried)' ----- 'I could practically hear Louis Armstrong crooning What a Wonderful World in the background' ----- 'Beautifully bonkers' ----- 'Absolutely amazing!' ----- 'Uniquely absurd and madly entertaining' ----- 'This book is an absolute vision... utterly grabbed me immediately' ----- ---------------- Death is having an existential crisis - and honestly, she needs some time off. But the minute she arrives in London for a well-earned break, everything goes terribly wrong: 1. People still insist she's a scythe-wielding skeleton in a black sack. Spoiler: she's a woman who'd love a wardrobe upgrade, thanks. 2. Life, her sanctimonious sister, blames her for, well, everything. 3. A string of murders occurs off-schedule. Nothing ruins a holiday quite like an admin disaster. 4. A charming (sexy) scientist shows up, and, of course, he's hiding something. 5. And she's stuck in a mortal body . . . while there's a killer on the loose. But she'll be fine, right? After all, who better to investigate a murder than Death herself? PRAISE FOR DEATH AND OTHER OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS: 'One of my favourite books of any year' IAN MOORE 'A total SCREAM' JANICE HALLETT 'There are shades of Terry Pratchett in Dapunt's debut novel . . . An entertaining page-turner with plenty of metaphysical fun and games' THE GUARDIAN '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 'Wonderfully observed and brilliantly imagined. . . it made me fall more in love with life' LUAN GOLDIE 'A tour de deathly force' ALICE BELL
