Five Wakes And A Wedding by Karen Ross-Romantic comedy
“Undertaker Nina Sherwood is your average Millennial with a steady job, a nice
home – and dead bodies in her basement.“
Nina has just opened her first ever shop- Happy Endings. After working for a large chain
home – and dead bodies in her basement.“
Nina has just opened her first ever shop- Happy Endings. After working for a large chain
and being fed up with them not putting the customers requirements first and having an
ignominious end to that part of her career she decided to become self employed.
Happy Endings is not a book shop as many first thought but a funeral directors. It
turns out that in that area no-one wants to think about death- they seem to pretend
that it doesn’t happen and so for the first few weeks she is left scratching her head
as to ideas to get the ball rolling. I enjoyed this from the off. A lead character who
has wit and charm and her feet firmly planted on the floor. A little humour along the
way always helps, especially with what could be a drab subject and a little romance
along the way. Humour and funerals? Yes it works as does romance and funerals.
Most of the book is about Nina her life before hand and starting up the business-
nothing too morbid at all and a refreshing change to not only have a book about
it but one with a female lead.

Five Wakes And A Wedding Undertaker Nina Sherwood is full of good advice. For example, never wear lip gloss when
you’re scattering ashes. Nina is your average 30-year-old with a steady job, a nice home – and dead bodies in her
basement. As an undertaker, she often prefers the company of the dead to the living –
they’re obliging, good listeners and take secrets to the grave. Nina is on a one-woman mission to persuade her peers that passing on is just another
part of life. But the residents of Primrose Hill are adamant that a funeral parlour is the
last thing they need… and they will stop at nothing to close down her dearly beloved shop. When Nina’s ‘big break’ funeral turns out to be a prank, it seems like it’s the final nail
in the coffin for her new business. That is, until a (tall, dark and) mysterious investor
shows up out of the blue, and she decides to take a leap of faith. Because, after all, it’s her funeral… The perfect antidote to all those books about weddings, this book will make you laugh
until you cry, perfect for fans of Zara Stoneley’s Bridesmaids, Four Weddings and a
Funeral and The Good Place. Purchase Links UK - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Five-Wakes-Wedding-Karen-Ross-ebook/dp/B07NXYXFSB US - https://www.amazon.com/Five-Wakes-Wedding-Karen-Ross-ebook/dp/B07NXYXFSB
Author Bio – As a former journalist, broadcaster and advertising copywriter, Karen Ross
has followed a fairly traditional path into writing fiction. Five Wakes and a Wedding is
her fourth book, and like its predecessors, the novel has two common threads: the
setting is London’s Primrose Hill – Karen’s own neighbourhood – and one of the characters
is a dog . . . this time he’s called Chopper and he’s almost the same size as a Shetland Pony Karen has been self-employed for many years, and continues to work as a marketing
consultant, in the absence of an offer to manage Tottenham Hotspur. By way of
credentials, her other ‘job’ is trading profitably on the world’s first football
stockmarket, a platform called Football Index, where you buy and sell players with
real money. Social Media Links – @ComedyKaren https://karenross.online/
