This is the story, set in Edinburgh, of a family who run a funeral home/detective agency. It is told through the perspectives of three females, the grandmother, the mother and the daughter. I was instantly hooked as I am very close with my mum and nana with my father not being in the picture and my grandad having passed away.

This was darkly comical and fabulously twisty. For me this was like a cozy crime mystery with a punch and I loved it.

The story has a few main story lines which I was concerned would get confusing, but it didn’t at all, and I loved seeing each of the different generations thoughts as the book progressed .

I really hope this is going to be a series as I would love to know what the Skelf Ladies get up to next!
Thank you to Orenda Books for my #gifted copy in exchange for review.
