Work at a funeral home can be mundane. Until you accidentally start bringing the dead back to life. "...a clever, hilarious romp through a new magical universe" --Sarah Angleton, author of Gentleman of Misfortune Cassie Black works at a funeral home. She's used to all manner of dead bodies. What she's not used to is them waking up. Which they seem to be doing on a disturbingly regular basis lately. Just when Cassie thinks she has the problem under control, the recently deceased Busby Tenpenny insists he's been murdered and claims Cassie might be responsible thanks to a wicked brand of magic she's been exposed to. The only way for Cassie to get her life back to normal is to tame her magic and uncover Mr. Tenpenny's true killer. Simple right? Of course not. Because while Cassie works on getting her newly acquired magic sorted, she's blowing up kitchens, angering an entire magical community, and discovering her past is more closely tied to Busby Tenpenny than she could have ever imagined. If you like comic fantasy whodunits with plenty of wry humor, a cast of unforgettable characters, a touch of paranormal mystery, and piles of pastries, you'll find it hard to pry yourself away from this first book of the Cassie Black Trilogy. Note: While this book delivers a contemporary fantasy tale with snarky giggles and a few hexes, it's fairly clean with only an itty-bitty bit of light cursing, one fight scene, and no hanky panky or sexual situations. The Cassie Black "Trilogy" has now grown to a very un-trilogy-like six books that include...The Undead Mr. Tenpenny (#1 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 1.0) The Uncanny Raven Winston (#2 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 1.0) The Untangled Cassie Black (#3 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 1.0) The Unusual Mayor Marheart (#1 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 2.0) The Unbearable Inspector Oberlin (#2 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 2.0) The Unexpected Mr Hopkins (#3 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 2.0) What readers have to say about the series so far..."Wow and wow again! I absolutely loved this book! You get such a feel for the characters and the story is so fast paced you don't want to put it down." "More, please!" "I was unable to put this down when I started reading it. The author combines humour with a fast paced murder mystery all packed into a funeral home." "...suffused with dark humor and witty dialogue..." "Cassie Black, won me over in the first book of this series, and she doesn't disappoint in this one!!!"
