Description
Perfect for fans of Carolyn Haines and Donna Andrews, Lillian Bell makes the return with her second Funeral Parlor mystery featuring funeral director Desiree Turner.
When an unnatural cause of death finds one of her clients, Desiree must get to the bottom of the murder before she’s fitted for a coffin, herself.
Funeral director Desiree Turner deals with death by natural causes all the time. Death by unnatural causes? Not so much. Yet, she and her boyfriend Nate have heard some not-so-dear things about the recently departed. A suspicious remark by the late Frank Fiore’s daughters sparks some concern. And when Violet Daugherty faints behind the wheel of her car, Desiree suspects she’s got a front seat to murder.
Desiree can’t help but look into Violet’s untimely end, but soon after, rumors begin to spread that she’s accusing her clients of murder, which quickly spurs a mass cancellation and Desiree is on the verge of going out of business. What began as an effort to do due diligence for her client turns into a wild goose chase for Violet’s murderer. Desiree must find her proof before everything she works for is lost. But that’s easier said than done, because while everyone else in town is looking to take their business elsewhere, the killer sets sights directly upon Desiree.
Now it’s up to Desiree to find the murderer before she becomes the next body her funeral parlor serves in If the Coffin Fits, Lillian Bell’s second charming Funeral Parlor mystery.

July 1, 2018
California funeral director Desiree Turner (A Grave Issue, 2018) imperils her family's business when she snoops into the death of one of its clients.Like many of the dearly departed in Verbena, Violet Daugherty spends her final days aboveground at the Turner Family Funeral Home. But unlike most of Turner's clients, she has no close family to mourn her loss--or to tell Desiree, her sister, Donna, or Uncle Joey exactly what final arrangements they'd like. Her only relative seems to be a distant cousin in Maine--so distant, in fact, that Lizette Pinkston barely knew Violet existed before she expired in a one-car crash. The abruptness of Violet's departure makes Desiree wonder why a healthy young woman would suddenly fall asleep at the wheel and veer off the road to her death. And, not one to undergeneralize, she also starts to wonder how some of their other clients met their ends, especially elderly Mr. Fiore, whose death in hospice care after a long illness Desiree still regards as somehow suspect. But unlike Violet, Mr. Fiore does have family, and daughters Daisy and Iris Fiore take strong exception to Desiree's suspicions. Soon the Turners find Verbena's citizens turning to rival funeral homes to bury their dead, and Desiree must act quickly to prove that her suspicions aren't the product of an overactive imagination before she runs the family business into the ground.The second in Bell's series is as lively as her first, with a quick-moving plot, a nicely crafted puzzle, and a heroine worth spending time with.COPYRIGHT(2018) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
