A story of a cop, Gaspard, who sees death one night and gets recruited to help, since he can see ghosts. In fact, he now has a couple living in his place, and they are most annoying. A good story overall, but must admit the banter got a bit silly at times and started to skim a bit. Might just be me. Would still recommend it, and made for a fun twist on death, making it a bit more lighthearted.

This is a silly book, yes. But I greatly enjoyed reading it. I'm drawn to anything that purports to be Sci-Fi Comedy.

This book is about a constable who is recruited by Death to help collect souls that have previously eluded him. The ghosts are obnoxious, Death is caught up in afterlife bureaucracy. The constable is rather incompetent. It's all a bit ridiculous, but that witty ridiculous that makes the genre so fun for some and hated by others.

So this book is solidly in the comedy/scifi genre even if the scifi is really about ghosts and the afterlife. It feels a lot like the series by Andrew Stanek that begins with the book "You are dead (Sign here please)" - different premise, but similar feel.

A little too silly for me to keep reading it. I expected it to be silly due to a title like that but even I have limits for what I will continue to read. Probably for someone out there but sadly not for me.
