Mortuary Confidential: Undertakers Spill the Dirt, 234 pages

 When the casket reached the front of the sanctuary, there was a loud cracking sound as the bottom fell out. And with a thump, down came Father Iggy.

From shoot-outs at funerals to dead men screaming and runaway corpses, undertakers have plenty of unusual stories to tell--and a special way of telling them.

In this macabre and moving compilation, funeral directors across the country share their most embarrassing, jaw-dropping, irreverent, and deeply poignant stories about life at death's door. Discover what scares them and what moves them to tears. Learn about rookie mistakes and why death sometimes calls for duct tape.

Enjoy tales of the dearly departed spending eternity naked from the waist down and getting bottled and corked--in a wine bottle. And then meet their families--the weepers, the punchers, the stolidly dignified, and the ones who deliver their dead mother in a pickup truck.

If there's one thing undertakers know, it's that death drives people crazy. These are the best "bodies of work" from America's darkest profession.

The beginning days of Family Circus. I never knew Thelma was Australian.

Damsel in Distress by Carola Dunn, 234 pages

I have to say that the Daisy Dalrymple series is filling the void that finishing the Phryne Fisher series created. Both are tons of fun, set in the same time period and well done.

The Traveling Death and Resurrection Show by Ariel Gore, 234 pages

I'd seen this reviewed on another site (unshelved.com???) and thought it looked interesting. It features a troupe of performers made up a bearded lady, a fire breather and a stigmata performer along with others. This book explored our search for a relationship for God and family. A solid read, all in all.
