Author Description

Smart, sassy and drop-dead insensitive, Pip Lessis has learned the only way not to upset colleagues is to work alone. She's completely unsuited to a job in the service industry, and yet when she inherits a funeral home, she figures its a good fit for her personality type. Dead people don't require small talk, right?Pip discovers her new small town business can't prosper without the support of the community, and when she starts accusing the townfolk of a murderous conspiracy - well they'd rather invite a serial killer in for tea and toast than trust an outsider. Jaimes Everest, her largest competitor, seems determined to strike a deal, but when he reveals a surprising truth about his deceased wife, Pip believes he might be slightly unhinged. And why is it, slightly unhinged seems so damn attractive to her?With one foot in the grave and one foot in her mouth, can Pip find a niche market in the funeral business, uncover a killer and find friendships worth risking everything for...without having to join the netball team?I Bury Dead People is a cozy tale with a touch of romance, a touch of mystery and a hearse-load of laughter.
