Death Takes a Holiday (Mortimer & Mrs Morris #1)

Death is bored. Immortality will do that to you.

** A hilarious new series from the author of The Cassie Black Trilogy! And an international Best of the Month selection! **

After an eternity of escorting souls to the afterlife, Death — who really prefers you call him Mortimer — is bored. There's been departmental divisions, technical developments, and fitness crazes that mean people just aren't dying like they used to.

What's worse… He's running low on romance novels to keep himself occupied.

His solution: a working holiday to Top World, where he expects room service, infinity-high thread counts, and an easy solution to get business booming again.

What he doesn't expect is Mrs Morris, a seventy-three-year-old detective with a tightly packed schedule and no time for an immortal assistant.

But when Mrs Morris is hired to look into a local murder, Mortimer sees the perfect opportunity to nudge up his mortality rates and refuses to go away.

The only trouble? Mortimer soon discovers the victim reeks of demons, turning his perfect opportunity into a heap of trouble that could end his career. Oh, and the human race.

Death Takes a Holiday is a humorous fantasy adventure about the most inconvenient partnership in the history of the afterlife, where a pair of unlikely allies are thrown together by broken bones, murder mysteries, pesky demons, and the deadliest cup of coffee in Portland.
