Mr. Andrew has worked in the funeral service industry for over a decade.
BOOK PLOT
Ever since his parents' funeral, Casey Kight felt a comfort and ease among morticians that he knew no where else in the world. He decided right then, at the age of nine, what he wanted to be when he grew up...an undertaker. The day he turned twenty-one, Casey joined the ranks of Morton-Albright, a family owned and operated mortuary, in the small Florida town of Angel Shoals.
Immediately, he felt right at home. He seems to have a gift for embalming. The Morton and Albright families welcome him like the family he never had. The quirky and mischievous Natalie Albright is the girl he's always dreamed of. And within the walls of Morton-Albright, Casey feels a reassuring presence that calms him, like nothing ever has before.
But his happiness will be short-lived if the mortuary falls victim to a rapacious funeral-home giant. With family secrets being uncovered, contested wills, and rumors of illegal funeral practices circling, the lives entwined in this funeral home become filled with intrigue, deception, and, of course, death.
Bringing abundant experience and a fresh wit to the page, Miles Keaton Andrew offers a clever, spirited, darkly humorous first novel, rich with dialogue and full of nuanced characters.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"Fast, funny, and remarkably good-natured: You'll die laughing." – Kirkus Reviews
"Andrew's debut is a very funny tale of young love and mystery set amid draining tables and suction tubes. The popularity of the HBO series Six Feet Under may have whetted readers' appetites for funeral home shenanigans; if so, this is the perfect novel to satisfy them." – Publishers Weekly
"Armed with an irreverent sense of humor and his own experience in the funeral business, Miles Keaton Andrew has constructed a uniquely loony comedy of errors, featuring a memorable cast of characters who don't resemble anyone's stereotype of an undertaker." – The Barnes & Noble Review from Discover Great New Writers
"Andrew has accomplished a difficult task: bringing together rather distasteful scenes, humorous and delightful dialogue and wonderfully three-dimensional characters into a page-turning book. It has been some time since a book made me laugh aloud as much as this one did." – Justin Matott, Rocky Mountain News
