About this deal

I really thought the book would delve more into the topic, and expected some insight, but I felt like the tone didn't match the subject matter.

The house is now occupied by the elderly Skipper who is terminally ill, his adult grandson, Reggie and a lazy and slovenly house cleaner, Hayley.The characterizations of the "good" people (not perfect but well meaning, without a doubt) left me with such a good feeling, once I finished the book. Calvin and his crew down at the station provide some light-hearted moments with their contrary snack machine, an ever-present fruitcake, and typical comraderies. Now his routine world is turned upside down as he tries to discover what went wrong while staying one step ahead of the law. Not withstanding it's nice to see a 75 year old protagonists, that is more than the sum of his years.

Felix Pink has a job as an Exiteer which means he assists people out of this life when they wish to go. Cozies” are a sub genre of crime fiction where you have a likable amateur sleuth, a small intimate community, and the crimes are not depicted with much blood or violence.

He comes from a family of criminals and degenerates and keeps this fact a secret from his police co-workers. He’s a wonderful human being, has impeccable manners, and he’s also extremely amusing, though he doesn’t realise this himself, which makes it even more amusing.

Bauer injects the subject of assisted dying with wit and humour, but doesn't lessen the gravity of the subject at all.

And the dogs, Bauer knows and loves dogs, without a doubt, and she knows dog talk, dog think, the love of a dog by the dog's person. He’s a widower who channels his dead wife’s thoughts and his constant companion is his judgemental but adorable dog Mabel. At first I thought this was a story of a future world in which "Exiteers" were individuals going to the beds of the dying to assist with voluntary suicide. No stranger to tragedy, he is lonely, a widower with only his little dog Mabel for company, his forays with the Exiteers were really his only social interactions.
