I loved this down-and-out sleuth trying to overcome major baggage. When she gets a job delivering the remains of the dead to loved ones and finds herself embroiled in murder, will she run away or face her enemy? A well-told story of redemption. I'm looking forward to reading book 2.
Down on her luck, Glenna Woodward, has no job, no home, and no prospects. She is lucky enough that her sister let's her use her camper, but she has to find a place to park it! The funeral home has a Morality Issue, the director had tons of urns of cremated and unclaimed remains. He hires Glenna, at $50 each, to return the urns to family which requires a great deal of investigation. One case leads her down a rabbit hole, and she starts investigating the cause of death! With this she meets a very unsavory man. This is a fast-paced mystery that keeps you on your toes! I look forward to reading book two!
