“You found a killer deal!”The Burgers brothers are finding some difficulty keeping the family business afloat. Especially since the family business is in death. The Burgers Brothers’ Funeral home has seen tough times, but none like this. And with Frank Burgers the ever so naive optimist and Donnie Burgers the pragmatic pessimist, the partnership couldn’t be more strained. How will Donnie handle it when he discovers that his brother has been dealing illegal human parts to keep their funeral business alive? Is Frank truly in control of the situation, or is he slowly inching toward a trap?This story has probably the best dialogue I’ve ever read. That being said, the whole book is about 85% dialogue which I love when done well, and this was done well. The wit and ease of the speech feels incredibly real and true to how two bickering brothers might argue. I was so absorbed by the hilariously morbid arguments that I felt like I was witnessing a conversation rather than reading about one. Truly a fantastic job.Tune builds an amazing world with amazing characters and I can picture the small town life with small family businesses on quaint streets and feel at home. I absolutely loved the mental transportation to the Burgers Brothers’ Funeral Home and I’m glad there’s a book two so I can witness this family chaos for longer. This book isn’t fear-filled horror but if you’re looking for morbid comedy, I promise it will hit the spot damn well. Really looking forward to the next installment! ☠️Also, the physical copy is beautiful and I love the cartoon artwork within the pages. It sets the mood and makes the story all the more joyfully comical despite the skeletons that dance about!
