FROM GOODREADS: There's no reverse on the hearse . . .
For Tallulah Graver, marrying wealthy Waldo Phillips seemed like the best way out of the family business, the Graver Funeral Home. But when her marriage falls apart and Tallie is left with next to nothing, she turns to cleaning houses to make ends meet. As humbling as it is to tidy the mansions of the snobby socialites she used to call friends, at least she doesn't have to be around dead bodies. Until . . .
She discovers one of her employers lying in a closet with a knife sticking out of her chest. This unpleasant shock seems to be part of a web of weird experiences: Tallie's friend Gina's shop is broken into, her ex is stun-gunned where it hurts the most, and now she's receiving flowers from the dead woman. Granted the deliveryman is handsome, but seriously, that's enough to cast a pall over anyone's day. Now Tallie needs to dig deep to clean up this mess--before she finds herself in a grave situation.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I think this is a perfect cozy mystery for this time of year and it even releases on Halloween Day. What could be better???
What book can't you wait for this week???

ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
We all need some quirkiness from time to time.
DeleteI feel like her ex being stun-gunned in his privates might be well deserved. This made me smile -- I hope it's as lovely when you read it!
ReplyDeletePS: have sent you a message via Twitter about your experience with Serial Box. Am in need of some advice...
DeleteIt does sound quite humorous!
Deletehaha what I said before about dragon books goes for cozy mysteries! I'm sure you'll be the one to make me read one of this! Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteDitto my previous comments. I WILL get you to read one yet - haha!
DeleteThis does sound like the perfect cozy mystery for this time of year. A bit on the creepy side for me, though, lol. In my last read -- "Beautiful Creatures" -- there was a hearse, and I didn't like that AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy this one!! Thanks for always stopping by to leave such lovely comments on my CWW post!! HUGS TO YOU & THE BOYS!! WOOF, WOOF to them, as well!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)
That title is truly the best, haha. I just read my first cozy mystery last week so you've definitely piqued my interest with this one. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteAnother for my TBR!! haha
