Why read it?

1 author picked Lenore's Last Funeral as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is an amazingly funny and smart novel. Main character, Lenore, is a professional moirologist—a professional mourner, hired by the relatives of recently deceased rich people. She’s also an expert in the general subject of death, as is her brother, Darius, although in a slightly different way.

Everything gets complicated when Lenore inherits a spooky, run-down house from one of her dead clients, a house that might hold the key to a mystery involving an evil corporation, a missing child, and (oh, yeah) a ghost.
