In this second book of the Grim Reaper series, Moore continues the story that began in A Dirty Job. After having died and been restored in a new and unexpected body, Charlie Asher and his friends are facing a new threat. Souls of dying people are not being collected by Death Merchants but where are they going instead? Is an old evil reviving? Who are the Squirrel People and why do they live under the house? Is Sophie still the supernatural dealer of death or has a new more powerful player stepped up to the bat? These questions and more are answered in hysterical hi jinks that slowly reveal the links connecting the missing souls and the actions of our heroes with the underworld and a feud as old as time.
With gems such as " Their names are Death, Disease, War, and Sparkle-Darkle Glittertits. They're the four little ponies of the Apocalypse. ", strewn throughout the story, you are sure to find this book a laugh riot all the way to the very end. Can be read as a stand alone as well. If you've never read a Moore title before, get ready to laugh until it hurts.
