Synopsis: A &“down-to-earth heroine&” juggles working at her family&’s funeral home and digging for clues to the murder of her best friend&’s ex (Kirkus Reviews). Best friends Tallie Graver and Gina Laudermilch both seem to spend a lot of time around urns. For Tallie, they&’re part and parcel of the family business, Graver&’s Funeral Home. Even though she&’s traded ashes for dusting with her own cleaning business, she still works part-time for her folks and lives above the funeral parlor. But for Gina, they&’re the vessels that contain her heavenly brew at her coffee shop, Bean There, Done That. And both women are learning that owning a business can make finding time for romance challenging. But when Gina&’s new beau turns out to have a wife, who barges into the coffee shop to take him home, she can&’t contain her bitterness and loudly threatens to poison his cup or boil him in a vat of coffee. So when Mr. Wrong turns up dead at the bottom of a staircase inside Gina&’s locked home, she finds herself at the top of the police&’s suspect list. Tallie needs to sweep in to save her friend. But she&’ll need to watch her step, or she may go from being a funeral home employee to becoming their next client . . . &“An amusing new series with an engaging, spirited sleuth.&” —Library Journal
