What makes it funny?
The dead have household habits: they take over Daisy's television, and their detached limbs need gluing back on. Helping them means dealing with repairs and inconsiderate guests as well as the mysteries of the afterlife.
The comedy at work
Daisy worries about being late for work and keeping corpses away from dinner. Her best friend Missy supplies a different kind of trouble, answering Daisy's anxieties about turning forty with teasing insults and frank jokes about sex.
Try this if…
Friendship and a romance that develops across the series accompany Daisy's paranormal cases. Readers who want a heroine starting over at forty, with friends willing to tease her through it, have plenty to follow here.
Good to know
Bereavement is part of the setup. The early excerpt includes swearing, sexual banter and discussion of a suspected suicide; the larger story and romance continue beyond this volume.
