Who needs to grim and bear it when you are smiling

I enjoyed this book. I love the idea of a grim reaper solving murders. What a novel idea and very quirky! The best thing is, it worked as a mystery and I found it amusing and entertaining. The characters were great, especially the mother daughter relationship and I think it is a great start to a new series that is only going to get better as the series unfolds and develops. It was also fun the way the main character tries to help the lost soul mend his relationship with his son without letting on about her secret. With an on the ball love interest being able to read her tells I don't think it will be a secret for long. The mystery was good and with plenty of red herrings it certain keeps you guessing. Looking forward to the next book.
After losing her job and boy friend, Tessa only has one option if she and her cat don't want to get kicked out of her apartment. And that is to work for her bossy mother. The only problem is, the job she is offering isn't the normal sort of job. It is escorting newly departed soul on to the next world, as the grim reaper. Working for your mother what could go wrong? Everything! Especially as Tessa's car breaks down causing her to be late for her first job. When she arrives she finds the body of her neighbour but no soul that needs help. It appears the neighbour was murdered and now he isn't ready to move on until he has completed his task. Tessa doesn't get paid until she delivers his soul to the correct place, so she sets got to find his killer and in the process find his soul all before her next rent payment is due.
I have listened to a few books read by Angel Clark and have found them all to be as entertaining as the book she reads. I hope she sticks with any future books to come in this series.
