Forlagsbeskrivelse af Death and Other Occupational Hazards af Veronika Dapunt

''Get ready to fall in love with this likeable and flawed version of the not-so-grim reaper"™ CULTUREFLY 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 ''An entertaining page-turner'' THE GUARDIAN --- 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? ----- READERS CAN''T STOP TALKING ABOUT DEATH! ''Darkly funny, uniquely absurd and madly entertaining . I could practically hear Louis Armstrong crooning What a Wonderful World in the background'' 5-STAR Reader Review ''An absolute joy to read. beautifully bonkers'' 5-STAR Reader Review "˜A beautiful bittersweet tribute to life"™ 5-STAR Reader Review ''Thought-provoking and extremely moving'' 5-STAR Reader Review ----- More praise for Death and Other Occupational Hazards: ''Wickedly irreverent and clever'' IRISH INDEPENDENT ''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 ''Original and clever. a tour de deathly force'' ALICE BELL
