I See You've Called in Dead by John Kenney

Bud Stanley, an obituary writer, isn't exactly thriving. Recently divorced, struggling at work, and facing dismissal after accidentally publishing his own obituary, he's hit rock bottom. So, in an unusual attempt to rediscover what makes life meaningful, Bud starts attending the funerals of complete strangers.

Heartfelt, witty and uplifting, I See You've Called in Dead is a story about second chances, finding connection, and learning how to truly live.

Available from 9 July, the ebook and audiobook can be borrowed through Libby with no holds and no waitlists for a limited time.
