Managing Death by Trent Jamieson
4.0
There's a possibility that I did a happy dance in the library when I saw that the sequel to Death Most Definite was finally on the shelf. Steven de Selby is back, only he's not a Pomp any more. Sure, he can still pomp the dead and banish stirrers. But he's now the Australian regional manager. It's just before Christmas, and there's a convention of all 13 regional managers on his turf in less than a week. And there's trouble looming.
I really enjoyed this. It wasn't quite as hectic as the first book, in which Steve is on the run for his life. There was more focus here on the impact that becoming the RM has had on him, and on him learning how to use his new powers. There's the usual blood lettings and dead bodies, but somehow they didn't seem as graphic as in the first book. I'm not sure whether they actually ARE less graphic, or if I've just become complacent about it.
Basically? I can't wait to track down the final book in the series.
