Went in expecting a silly goofy time (it's a book about a corporate Grim Reaper, I mean come on) and came out having experienced, yes a little silly, but also extremely touching story about a woman learning how to open herself up and a boy just wanting to be loved.

One of my favorite things about A Grim Reaper's Guide to Catching a Killer is that our main characters are completely normal and yet they experience amazing things (shocking I know). These aren't young, gorgeous model types with ridiculous powers out to save the world; Kathy, Simon, Jo, and yes, even Connor, are completely average individuals and yet the impact they have on each other is astounding.

Definitely recommend for anyone that loves cozy mystery with a helping of heartfelt.
