Her job is to die for. Literally.
Most people think that when they meet Death, it'll be a skeleton in a black potato sack. Maybe with a scythe. Truth is, she's just a woman doing a job, and she's very good at it.
But when Death takes a much-needed break to live on earth, things start to go terribly wrong.
Someone's killing people not on her list (well, not yet anyway) and it's down to her to find the culprit before it's too late.
To make matters worse, her sanctimonious sister, Life - whom Death hasn't got on with in millennia - won't stop blaming her . . . And then there's the slight problem of the charming (sexy) parasitologist she's suspicious of.
But she'll be fine, right?
After all, who better to investigate a murder than Death herself?
-----
Quirky, fun and witty, this is Death like you've never seen her before. A lover of bright colours, a fierce protector of nature and a human falling in love for the first time. Death's sharp voice will linger in your mind long after you've read.
'Wonderfully observed and brilliantly imagined. . . I never knew what was coming next, but at every point, it made me fall more in love with life.' LUAN GOLDIE
'Original and clever. . . a tour de deathly force.' ALICE BELL
'A total SCREAM.' JANICE HALLETT

📄 Exercise Your Right of Withdrawal
Under EU consumer law, you have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving your order, without giving a reason. To formally exercise this right, use the button below. This is a distinct function separate from our general returns process.
Your right to cancel
If you order online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason. This cooling-off period runs from the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last item in your order. To cancel, contact us at shop@chaptersbookstore.com stating your order number and your wish to withdraw from the purchase. Once we've confirmed your cancellation, you have 14 days to send the goods back to us.

To be eligible for a refund, your item must be returned unworn, unused and unread, in its original packaging, and in the same condition you received it. You'll also need your receipt or proof of purchase. If your return is based on the item's condition on arrival, please include a photo so we can advise the best resolution.
Faulty or damaged items
Please inspect your order on arrival and contact us immediately if an item is defective, damaged, or not what you ordered. Separately from the 14-day cancellation right above, you're entitled to a repair, replacement or refund on faulty goods for up to two years from purchase, under standard consumer guarantee rights.
