By Melissa Marr-her first adult novel(she has a kids
series "the Wicked Lovely"-I never heard of) Anyway,this is a really creepy little tale,it's Zombie (Hungry Dead) but it's also a mystery & not your usual plague background. The story takes place in Claysville an obvious sister town to Woodinvale,a whole lot of LNoE background is in this story. Claysville,a town with secrets & whose founders made a contract with Death.It has it's advantages but if the Dead are not cared for they walk.The town has 2 hereditary offices who handle this .The Undertaker (male) & the Graveminder (female) the are co-dependent. The town has a Council which knows some secrets & the general population which never seem to notice the occasional happening. The first 2/3 of the book deals with the new Undertaker & new Graveminder discover what their jobs entail. The final 3rd deals with the Killings & the mystery surrounding,which has some unusual twists. It's one of those stories where your getting toward the end & you don't see how the Aurthor can tie it all up in the pages left .(King's last Dark Tower Novel comes to mind).But it's worked out in a logical manner & provides a satisfactory closure. The book also provides an interesting take on the the after life.This is well worth the read. "Sleep well,and stay where I put you".
