Actually, I'm a Gravedigger

The brand-new, wickedly funny murder mystery from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author and creator of the Horrible Histories series.

1974. John Brown has a problem. Being a professional assassin is easy enough. It's what to do with the bodies afterwards that's tricky.

Luckily, John has a solution: become an undertaker.

With a hearse, a churchyard and aspiring actor Tony Davies pressed into service as a gravedigger, John's new venture is off to a promising start. But then Detective Sergeant Aline James starts asking questions about a missing solicitor - and John knows from experience that Aline is not a woman who is easily fooled.

Meanwhile, Tony asks Aline to investigate a family tragedy buried since the Second World War. As the mysteries deepen, the detective, actor and assassin find themselves pursuing the same deadly secrets.

Some crimes are forgotten.

Some are covered up.

And some are buried.
