Blog Tour, Review & #Giveaway : Undertaking Irene by Pamela Buford @PamelaBurford @dollycas
UNDERTAKING IRENE by Pamela Burford
Cozy Mystery – 250 Pages
Synopsis
Jane Delaney does things her paying customers can’t do, don’t want to do, don’t want to be seen doing, can’t bring themselves to do, and/or don’t want it to be known they’d paid someone to do. To dead people. Life gets complicated for Jane and her Death Diva business when she’s hired to liberate a gaudy mermaid brooch from the corpse during a wake. Well, a girl’s got to make a living, and this assignment pays better than scattering ashes, placing flowers on graves, or bawling her eyes out as a hired mourner. Unfortunately for Jane, someone else is just as eager to get his hands on that brooch, and he’s even sneakier than she is. Just when she thinks her biggest problem is grand theft mermaid, things take a murderous turn. But hey, when you’ve teamed up with a neurotic seven-pound poodle named Sexy Beast, how can you lose?

Review
This was quite a humorous book! yes it is still a mystery but there are quite a few bits of humor throughout. The book is told in first person so if that bothers you (and I know a few people that it does) you may not enjoy the book. But if you can get past that, then this mystery will keep you guessing. There is a dog – a poor poodle that hasn’t seen a groomer since birth, named Sexy Beast. A “priest” named Martin who really isn’t a priest, thank goodness because apparently he is quite the hunk.
I didn’t figure out the killer until they were revealed and then it was an interesting twist as to the “why”.
We give this book 4 paws up!
