Dead Is Better
Dead Is Better | Jo Perry
5 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Charles Stone is pretty sure he's dead. He has bullet holes in his chest, and there's a ghostly dog that seems to be his new companion. Unable to interact with the world of the living other than watching and listening, he and the dog-whom he names Rose-have nothing to do and all the time in the world to do it. When Charles and Rose try to unravel the circumstances of Charles's death, they uncover a criminal who is raking in millions of dollars by cruelly exploiting, and sometimes killing, his victims. But what difference can a ghost make? And what does the dog have to do with all of this?

New book in the series....dead is beautiful

Charlie and Rose then witness the murder of Kim, a foul, vicious woman who demands Charlie finds out who murdered her or she will make his and Rose‘s life hell…..and so it begins…

All sorts of crazy mishaps and marvellous characters, from an owl on a revenge mission, a mini driving Scot and Charlie‘s shit brother….

Charles Stone appears to be dead. He wakes up to find bulletholes in his chest, and a (ghost) dog by his side, but he has no memory of how he died. With Rose, the dog, he sets out to investigate what happened to him, & get to grips with this new #afterlife experience.

It's from Fahrenheit Press -if you need a grumpy punk crime publisher in your life, follow him on Twitter (he's brilliant). Sadly the book: less entertaining! #junetunz @Cinfhen

Bailing at 18%. It's Fahreinheit Press, I wanted to love it, but just wasn't that bothered 😕.

Nice premise: Charles Stone wakes up to find himself dead. With his new companion, a dog (also presumably dead), he sets out to find out what happened on his last day, while getting used to this whole being dead thing.

And if you want bookish death quotes, this has oodles. I think it's a decent read, but it's just not grabbing me right now.

Just to be clear, these are some of the options that may or may not happen. I'm not actually planning on reading all of this lot this month! Some are in progress, some are quite high on the tbr. #feistyfeb #tbr #ro17

Possibly not my usual sort of crime novel - but it came through my Fahrenheit Press subscription, so I'm giving it a go and enjoying it so far! A dead man and a dead dog roaming the streets of Hollywood.
