Someones killing people not on her list (well, not yet anyway) and it's down to her to find the culprit before its too late.To make matters worse, her sanctimonious sister, Life whom Death hasnt got on with in millennia wont stop blaming her . . . And then theres the slight problem of the charming (sexy) parasitologist shes suspicious of.But shell be fine, right?After all, who better to investigate a murder than Death herself?More praise for Death and Other Occupational Hazards:'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'Gloriously absurdist, darkly comic and utterly readable' HELEN LEDERER'Wonderfully observed and brilliantly imagined. . . it made me fall more in love with life' LUAN GOLDIE'A tour de deathly force' ALICE BELL
