Death & Other Complications Series by Rachel Ford

Crime pays, but not very well. If it did, maybe I wouldn’t be here, now - witness to a murder that I can’t report, and hunted by the killer but unable to go to the police without copping to a few counts of B & E in the process. But, it’s worse than breaking and entering... moreCrime pays, but not very well. If it did, maybe I wouldn’t be here, now - witness to a murder that I can’t report, and hunted by the killer but unable to go to the police without copping to a few counts of B & E in the process. But, it’s worse than breaking and entering. In a world where being dead already stacks the system against you, a zombie like me admitting to being anywhere near the scene of the crime? A sure way to end up taking the fall, and spending the rest of my undead life behind bars. Fortunately, there are always unofficial channels. People more or less on the right side of the law, but not quite so particular about the details as the police. Unfortunately, the specific channel I have in mind is my ex. And the way things ended, she may turn me in just out of spite. If she doesn’t murder me herself. less

You’d think life would be easy, the second time around. I live in paradise. I’m alive, when I should be dead. Life should be perfect. Turns out, it’s more complicated than ever. Since dealing with the mob, an assassin, and a double-crossing boss wasn’t complicated enough, I decided to get back together with my ex. Not just in a relationship. Oh no. We’re working together too. Why? Because I’m nuts. Obviously... moreYou’d think life would be easy, the second time around. I live in paradise. I’m alive, when I should be dead. Life should be perfect. Turns out, it’s more complicated than ever. Since dealing with the mob, an assassin, and a double-crossing boss wasn’t complicated enough, I decided to get back together with my ex. Not just in a relationship. Oh no. We’re working together too. Why? Because I’m nuts. Obviously. And to complicate things even further, I’m working on the right side of the law this time. Or, right-ish. Most of the time. When undead start disappearing off the streets, and showing up as just dead, that resolve may or may not last. Especially as the police show no interest in helping find the serial killer, or protecting our community. But I know one thing for sure. This relationship, this new start, this new line of business? I’m going to make it work. I’m going to find the guy who is plaguing the streets, and I’m going to bring him to justice. The legal kind, or the street kind. Whatever it takes. Or, I’m going to die trying, anyway. less
