Literally.</b><br><br>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 <i>very </i>good at it.<br><br>But when Death takes a much-needed break to live on earth, things start to go terribly wrong.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>But she’ll be fine, right?<br><br><b>After all, who better to investigate a murder than Death herself?</b><br><br>-----<br><br><b>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.</b><br><br>'A total SCREAM' <b>JANICE HALLETT<br><br>'Darkly funny</b>, uniquely absurd and <b>madly entertaining </b>. . .
