Description from the publisher:
Kitty Crawford reached for stardom
and fell hard. Now, in desperate need of
some way to make ends meet, she skulks back to her hometown of Asheville. Unfortunately, the employment offers are slim
pickings for a has-been whose sole talent is being able to cry on cue.
That is, until one odd turn leads to another, which leads to the little-known profession of Personal Mourning. Here, the better Kitty can fake it, the more dollars she’ll find stacked up in her bereft bank account. Talk about a role she was born to play!
And townsfolk are just dying to hire her. Her first gig casts her as the bereaved girlfriend of one newly deceased Chase McCormick, someone she would never have dated in life. Still, Kitty will have to act like her life depends on it, because—OMG!—it does.
Can she perform an investigation that could turn out to be murder before she gets her own curtain call? Find out whodunit in this hilarious mystery series filled with fake tears and a very real body count...Order your copy and start reading today!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MOURNING ROUTINE is the first book
in the Funeral Fakers series. I believe
they’ll each stand on their own, but that is yet to be seen.
I love Kitty Crawford and Chase
McCormick, individually and together. I
hope they make appearances in some of the other books in the series (even
though they are each written by different authors). I want to know more about his mother and her
plants!
This story was fun, funny, and
unique. It was also a little twisted and
couldn’t avoid a bit of gallows humor.
It made me laugh and cringe at some of the over-the-top antics of people
acting as real people do – especially when facing mortality.
I lived in North Carolina for a few
years and I had no problem imagining the accents in every one of these
voices. These people exist!
This was an excellent start to the
series. I loved this story and I am
looking forward to more from this series.
Not only is it a new series, but it is also a whole group of new-to-me
authors and I’m looking forward to reading from each of them.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
