The Undead Mr. Tenpenny - Painter, Tammie

. .

Résumé :
Work at a funeral home can be mundane. Until you accidentally start bringing the dead back to life. ...a clever, hilarious romp through a new magical universe --Sarah Angleton, author of Gentleman of Misfortune Cassie Black works at a funeral home. She's used to all manner of dead bodies. What she's not used to is them waking up. Which they seem to be doing on a disturbingly regular basis lately. Just when Cassie thinks she has the problem under control, the recently deceased Busby Tenpenny insists he's been murdered and claims Cassie might be responsible thanks to a wicked brand of magic she's been exposed to. The only way for Cassie to get her life back to normal is to tame her magic and uncover Mr. Tenpenny's true killer. Simple right? Of course not. Because while Cassie works on getting her newly acquired magic sorted, she's blowing up kitchens, angering an entire magical community, and discovering her past is more closely tied to Busby Tenpenny than she could have ever imagined. If you like comic fantasy whodunits with plenty of wry humor, a cast of unforgettable characters, a touch of paranormal mystery, and piles of pastries, you'll find it hard to pry yourself away from this first book of the Cassie Black Trilogy. Note: While this book delivers a contemporary fantasy tale with snarky giggles and a few hexes, it's fairly clean with only an itty-bitty bit of light cursing, one fight scene, and no hanky panky or sexual situations. The Cassie Black Trilogy has now grown to a very un-trilogy-like six books that include...The Undead Mr. Tenpenny (#1 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 1.0) The Uncanny Raven Winston (#2 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 1.0) The Untangled Cassie Black (#3 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 1.0) The Unusual Mayor Marheart (#1 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 2.0) The Unbearable Inspector Oberlin (#2 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 2.0) The Unexpected Mr Hopkins (#3 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 2.0) What readers have to say about the series so far...Wow and wow again! I absolutely loved this book! You get such a feel for the characters and the story is so fast paced you don't want to put it down. More, please! I was unable to put this down when I started reading it. The author combines humour with a fast paced murder mystery all packed into a funeral home. ...suffused with dark humor and witty dialogue... Cassie Black, won me over in the first book of this series, and she doesn't disappoint in this one!!!...

THE QUICK AS YOU CAN STORY BEHIND MY BOOKS... My fascination for myths, history, and how they interweave inspired my two historical fantasy series, The Osteria Chronicles and my second series, Domna. But all those ancient myths and angst-ridden heroes got a bit too serious for someone with a strange sense of humor and odd way of looking at the world. So, while sitting at my grandmother's funeral, my brain came up with an idea for a contemporary fantasy trilogy that's filled with magic, mystery, snarky humor, and the dead who just won't stay dead. That idea turned into The Cassie Black Trilogy, which has turned into a fan favorite. Then, because writer brains are weird, a simple elephant story I had in mind somehow morphed into a hilarious cozy fantasy series with a detecting dragon. So, if you like comic fantasy whodunits that mix in laughs with murderous mayhem, mythical beasts, and a staggering variety of omelets, you'll want to check out my Circus of Unusual Creatures mysteries!

Sommaire:
Short Version: I turn wickedly strong tea into historical fantasy fiction in which the gods, heroes, and myths of Ancient Greece come to life as you've never seen them before. When I'm not creating worlds or killing off characters, I wrangle honeybees to add a little adventure into my non-writing life. Long Version: Tammie Painter grew up in the creative world of Portland, Oregon, and she continues to call the City of Roses home. Although she spent years working as a chemist in a behavioral neuroscience research lab, she could never quite tame her passion for writing. Tammie has a knack for delving into and bringing life to history and mythology in her novels. Her fascination for myths, history, and how they interweave inspired the Osteria Chronicles series. The current titles in the six-book series include *The Trials of Hercules *The Voyage *The Maze *The Bonds of Osteria (coming soon) When she isn't (but probably should be) writing, Tammie can be found digging in her garden, planning her next travel adventure, creating art, or persuading her hive of backyard bees to share some of their honey with her.
