Thomas Dunne Books, 2002. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Brand New. 8.50 x 5.80 x 1.00. Brand new. Never read or owned. May have a remainder mark. 16.0 oz. Ever since his parents' funeral, Casey Kight felt a comfort and ease among morticians that he knew no where else in the world. He decided right then, at the age of nine, what he wanted to be when he grew up...an undertaker. The day he turned twenty-one, Casey joined the ranks of Morton-Albright, a family owned and operated mortuary, in the small Florida town of Angel Shoals. -- Immediately, he felt right at home. He seems to have a gift for embalming. The Morton and Albright families welcome him like the family he never had. The quirky and mischievous Natalie Albright is the girl he's always dreamed of. And within the walls of Morton-Albright, Casey feels a reassuring presence that calms him, like nothing ever has before. -- But his happiness will be short-lived if the mortuary falls victim to a rapacious funeral-home giant. With family secrets being uncovered, contested wills, and rumors of illegal funeral practices circling, the lives entwined in this funeral home become filled with intrigue, deception, and, of course, death. -- Bringing abundant experience and a fresh wit to the page, Miles Keaton Andrew offers a clever, spirited, darkly humorous first novel, rich with dialogue and full of nuanced characters. Casey Kight, the hero of this comic novel, is an orphan and a misfit. When he's 21, he goes to work for the Morton-Albright Funeral Home in a Florida town--a job he seems perfectly suited for. Not only is he dedicated to his work, but he's in line to marry the boss's daughter and inherit the business. But time, among other things, is working against him.... An extremely funny debut novel....Fast, funny, and remarkably good-natured.... -- Kirkus Reviews  (01/01/2002). .
