'Funny and smart . . . one of my favourite books of any year ' IAN MOORE , bestselling author of Death and Croissants 'There are shades of Terry Pratchett in Dapunt's debut novel . . . An entertaining page-turner with plenty of metaphysical fun and games ' THE GUARDIAN 'A total SCREAM ' JANICE HALLETT, bestselling author of The Appeal --- Death is having an existential crisis – and honestly, she needs some time off. But the minute she arrives in London for a well-earned break, everything goes terribly wrong: 1. People still insist she’s a scythe-wielding skeleton in a black sack. Spoiler: she’s a woman who'd love a wardrobe upgrade, thanks. 2. Life, her sanctimonious sister, blames her for, well, everything . 3. A string of murders occurs off-schedule. Nothing ruins a holiday quite like an admin disaster. 4. A charming ( sexy ) scientist shows up, and, of course, he’s hiding something. 5. And she’s stuck in a mortal body . . . while there's a killer on the loose. But she’ll be fine, right? After all, who better to investigate a murder than Death herself? More praise for Death and Other Occupational Hazards : ' Wickedly irreverent and clever' IRISH INDEPENDENT 'Gripped me from the start and kept me hooked to the end' DAILY MAIL 'A constant grin of a novel' SFX ' Gloriously absurdist , darkly comic and utterly readable' HELEN LEDERER ' Wonderfully observed and brilliantly imagined . . . it made me fall more in love with life' LUAN GOLDIE 'A tour de deathly force ' ALICE BELL
