About this listen
Married odd couple Arthur and Sal are totally normal. They wear sunscreen, not because the sun can kill them, but because even the undead need a skincare regimen. They eat garlic whenever they want, though it gives Sal indigestion. They can talk to creatures of the night, but only the raccoons that rifle through their garbage. Really, they don’t bite… except into delicious baked goods.
Ready to settle down and stay out of trouble, the two have opened a bed & breakfast in the idyllic, if not-so-paranormal-friendly, town of Trident Falls, Oregon. But trouble finds them when the mayor is discovered dead in their begonias with two puncture wounds in his neck. With the help of a werewolf barista, the elven town coroner, and a very human city manager, Arthur and Sal will need to prove they aren’t literally out for blood by catching a killer…
Critic Reviews
Praise for Dead & Breakfast
"Witty, exciting, and full of eccentric worldbuilding, this sly supernatural cozy stands out from the pack. It’s a hoot."
—Publishers Weekly
“Flamboyant, fabulous Sal is a delightful counterpart to straight-laced Arthur, and readers who relish a good pun will find much to appreciate in Hillis and Thor's first Dead & Breakfast mystery. It has all the hallmarks of a good cozy—off-page crime, plenty of chances to puzzle out the killer with Arthur—with a delightful queer, undead twist. Lots of fun.”
—Booklist
“Both laugh-out-loud hilarious and deeply emotional, Dead & Breakfast tackles important themes of love, acceptance, and the true meaning of home while still offering up a thrilling plot and the cozy vibes that mystery lovers like me eat up. Can’t wait for Arthur and Sal’s next case!”
—Mia P. Manansala, Agatha Award–winning author of the bestselling Tita Rosie’s Kitchen Mysteries
“Cozy mystery meets cozy fantasy in this charming cream puff of a book. Cute werewolf cafés, bickering couples, waffle brunches, exsanguinations . . . what’s not to like?”
—Caitlin Rozakis, New York Times bestselling author of Dreadful
“Chock-full of kooky characters and paranormal puns. . . . This delightful mystery is a perfect reminder that it’s never too late to start living your dream (after)life!”
—Maxie Dara, author of A Grim Reaper’s Guide to Cheating Death
