Charlie Asher is a pretty normal guy with a normal life, married to a bright and pretty woman who actually loves him for his normalcy. They're even about to have their first child. Yes, Charlie's doing okay—until people start dropping dead around him, and everywhere he goes a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Charlie Asher, it seems, has been recruited for a new position: as Death.

It's a dirty job, but hey! Somebody's got to do it.

I adore Christopher Moore. There I said it. Every book I read of his I laugh out loud and sometimes holler at the characters. I want him to write forever!

A solid 4 star book. Moore is, as always, irreverent, funny, and unwilling to be forced into political correctness.
