The Nearly Dearly Departed Club
(2023)(The first book in the Nearly Dearly Departed Club series)
A novel by Anthony Grace
Meet the Nearly Dearly Departed Club. Four random strangers with one thing in common. They’re all dead. Deceased and departed. No longer with us.
Or maybe not …
Teenager Benji Hammerton has gone quiet. Worryingly so. Fearing the worst, his parents turn to the only person who might be able to help - Agatha Pleasant, an ageing secret agent who operates largely in the shadows, unburdened by rules and regulations. As luck would have it, Agatha has a batch of new recruits at her disposal. Untapped potential desperately in need of work experience.
Enter the Nearly Dearly Departed Club.
Their search takes them to Stainmouth, a grim Northern town with little to offer except bitter winds and a toxic atmosphere. With a life hanging in the balance, they hunt tirelessly for the missing boy. They make friends along the way, but also enemies. The kind of enemies who think nothing of taking a life if the need arises. As tensions mount, and the risks start to outweigh the rewards, the team question their involvement. Their purpose. Their future. Is any of it really worth dying for?
Especially when you’re dead already …
The Nearly Dearly Departed Club is the explosive debut crime thriller novel from Anthony Grace. Perfect for fans of Mick Herron, Caimh McDonnell and JD Kirk. Note to reader - okay, it’s not actually explosive. That would just be dangerous. It is mildly entertaining, though. And slightly amusing in places. Quite enjoyable really. Well worth a purchase. So that’s cleared that up then. Maybe I should think about stopping now. Not that anybody ever makes it this far. I could write anything. I won’t, of course. Just in case. Instead I’ll leave you with a fond farewell. Take care and be lucky.
Genre: Mystery
