I really enjoyed this fast paced thriller set in and around a mortuary. The story and characters are better than the cover implies.

Thiller is usually not my genre so that might be a reason for dnf this.
I also thought the characters where dull and I didn't really care for them or their story.

I've had this on my TBR for a while now and I finally picked it up. What was I waiting for?!
This was so good! Just enough of a supernatural hint to make it a bit different, but not so much it becomes a supernatural story. The crime part was well written and enough to keep you guessing without becoming too far-fetched or predictable.
I'll definitely be continuing this series.

Cassie (Cassandra) Raven works in a mortuary in Camden, north London, where she speaks to the dead — and it seems they might be speaking back. This is the first book in a series of three so far, and it’s very good. Cassie is a likeable character as are many of the supporting cast (plus some really bad people too). Unlike some other London-based thrillers I’ve read recently, this is a genuinely modern story with a powerful young woman as the lead. Cassie’s been compared to Lisbeth Salander, which may explain why I’m enjoying reading about her. It’s a good story — actually several overlapping stories — and I look forward to reading more from this series.

I liked this, it was different from what I normally read. I find the idea of mortuaries and the people who work there oddly intriguing.

This is a phenomenal book. It is well written, with a fantastic plot and believe well fleshed out characters. The audio is wonderfully preformed to. I cannot wait to read the second one. Highly recommended.
