Publisher Description
What could be more entertaining than a professional mourner’s convention? An actually dead actor lying in a prop coffin. And a heroine who realizes if she doesn’t find the killer fast, somebody else is going to die. Namely her.
Maybell is excited to attend her very first Professional Mourner’s convention. She’s looking forward to meeting other mourners and picking up tips to improve her graveside performances. Anticipating days filled with representative mourning situations and training, May quickly discovers the corpse lying in the coffin is all too real. To make things worse, May appears to be the last person to have spoken to the dead guy the night before.
Knowing she’s going to be the key suspect for a cop who disrespects her profession at best and dislikes professional mourners at worst, May quickly finds herself on the hot seat to prove she didn’t murder the acting corpse. That should be easy for a woman who’s become a pretty good snoop, right? There are just a couple of small problems. First, her suspect pool includes over a hundred professional mourners and vendors. And second, the real killer doesn’t want May to discover the truth. Making her unusual mourning situation not only tricky but unconventionally deadly as well.
Customer Reviews
Funny, clever whodunit
Part cosy mystery, part comedy, this kept me eagerly turning pages. l just love the quirky, sometimes over-the-top characters that are surprisingly believable. The professional mourning idea is fun and original and provides much drama and comedy. There were plenty of laugh out loud moments in this challenging whodunnit with twists and turns and a plethora of suspects. A mood-elevating, well-written book with great dialogue.
