Good Omens meets Katy Brent in this sparkling debut - Who better to solve a murder than Death herself? Dark humour with an endearing side, it's Death like you've never seen her before.

'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-

'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
