Death and Other Occupational Hazards
Death and Other Occupational Hazards | Veronika Dapunt
2 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
People have a few ideas about Death, and the worst by far is a skeleton in a black potato sack. If she's lucky, she gets a scythe. The truth: she's just a woman doing a job and she's very good at it. Until she takes time off to live as a human and everything falls apart. Someone's killing people not on her schedule (well, not yet anyway) and with no thanks to the Temp she left in charge, it's up to her to make things right. With the help of her oh-so-sanctimonious sister, Life, and a charming (sexy) parasitologist, Death must stop the killer before it's too late. But that's if she can defeat her greatest challenge yet: human bureaucracy. Who better to investigate a murder than Death herself?

This was actually a little belter of a book & I'm surprised it isn't more widely known/loved. It features a jaded female Death holidaying on Earth in human form. She investigates some shady business, learns about human nature, falls in love, rescues a dog & averts the Apocalypse...and it's all rather whimsical/hilarious/poignant! Death is a great character, but I also love Jesus (yes, THAT Jesus - don't ask, just read it!)

Starting today - dredged this one up from the foothills of my towering and everso slightly terrifying Mount ToBeRead. Great cover, love the green with the splash of pink.
