My opinion and rank of 4.8
Who knew that there was so much involved in running a funeral home, not to mention that the funeral director needs to available 24/7.This cozy mystery followed a similar formula that other cozy mysteries follow, however, this one had a new setter, main character, sub characters and new information. All of this was intertwined in the story. The story just hooked me and kept me interested throughout as I learned a lot about the funeral business. I did not realize that there were corporation that owned different funeral homes. The skills, certification, personality and paperwork involved in planning a funeral or cremation. There were some sad sub stories that were intertwined that just made the mystery even more heartbreaking.
I highly recommend this book!!!
