Publisher Description
"Look out, Janet Evanovich: Jane Delaney is a worthy rival of Stephanie Plum. Bright, smart, and incredibly funny, Undertaking Irene is a delightful laugh-out-loud roller-coaster ride." — Lorna Barrett, New York Times best-selling author of Book Clubbed
"Witty characters, humorous story line and a plot so fun you won't want to stop reading this book! . . . It's laugh out loud funny and will make people wonder what you are reading!" — Shelley's Book Case
◊
Jane Delaney does things her paying customers can't do, don't want to do, don't want to be seen doing, can't bring themselves to do, and/or don't want it to be known they'd paid someone to do. To dead people.
Life gets complicated for Jane and her Death Diva business when she's hired to liberate a gaudy mermaid brooch from the corpse during a wake—on behalf of the rightful owner, supposedly. Well, a girl's got to make a living, and this assignment pays better than scattering ashes, placing flowers on graves, or bawling her eyes out as a hired mourner. Unfortunately for Jane, someone else is just as eager to get his hands on that brooch, and he's even sneakier than she is, not to mention dangerously sexy.
Just when she thinks her biggest problem is grand theft mermaid, things take a murderous turn. But hey, when you've teamed up with a neurotic seven-pound poodle named Sexy Beast, how can you go wrong?
Book 1 in the Jane Delaney mystery series. Approximately 259 pages.

A good read
Best book I have read in a while.
Undertaking Irene
Occasionally you find a book that makes you smile, makes you feel as though you are seated in a squashily comfortable big chair with a cup of hot chocolate in one hand and the book in the other. Best of all worlds - chocolate and a good book!
Undertaking Irene is one of those books. I had a slight smile on my face throughout and, occasionally, laughed out loud - not something I regularly do when reading a murder mystery.
Looking forward to reading more of Pamela Burford’s books. Highly Recommended.
