About this deal

He and other people help those who are terminally ill to kill themselves to avoid pain and suffering. I was equally invested in the story line and trying to figure out the mystery, but I was also looking forward to the next bit of humor that I would come across. The topics discussed in this book were death, euthanasia, loneliness, being old, terminal illness, friendships, etc. Independent thought was not required and flair was frowned upon – and Felix had been more than capable of not bringing them to the table. I loved how all of the characters were more concerned that their pets would be fed, than they were about being arrested on suspicion of murder!

One of the strengths in this novel, as in all of her books, are the incredible characters that she introduces us to.

All previous arrangement are to be made by the person or their family, to have a tank of nitrous oxide present. Which is a good thing because I can’t begin to explain why after, (thankfully a short time) of struggling to get into this book I couldn’t put it down. When Felix lets himself in to Number 3 Black Lane, he’s there to perform an act of charity: to keep a dying man company as he takes his final breath . The patient fumbles the gas cylinder and Amanda instinctively retrieves it - thus committing a crime.

Bauer injects the subject of assisted dying with wit and humour, but doesn't lessen the gravity of the subject at all. Highly recommended to those readers who enjoy a quirky crime caper with liberal does of levity throughout.Perfect for fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club, this is the page-turning, twisty, and often hilarious new crime novel from bestselling author Belinda Bauer. There were no subtlety or complexity offered, and in fact, there was hardly any discussion about it at all.

He and others like him accompany those who wish to take their own lives because of terminal illness or advanced age. However, the first time he is teamed with a new Exiteer, Amanda, things go very wrong, involving him in a possible murder mystery with police, gamblers, a shady dentist, new friends, jealous lovers and garden gnomes. At first I wasn't sure about Calvin but by the end of the story he and Felix were favorites of mine.The second main character is policeman Calvin Bridge who suffers from a lack of confidence, exacerbated by his wife leaving him. This book also employs a pet peeve of mine, in which conflicts come from misunderstandings that could be immediately cleared up by the characters just talking to each other. He and another elderly gent made a good, reassuring pair to visit those wishing to exit, but today, his usual partner isn’t there and he’s assisted by a young woman for whom this is her first assignment. The cat had to be found before it could be fed, and yet was never where it should be when you needed it to be there. The beginning of this book was riveting, and I was immediately sucked into this interesting and unusual premise.

Felix is charming but doesn’t realise it, he��s old fashioned, old school, honourable, honest and a real gentleman. When Felix lets himself in to Number 3 Black Lane, he’s there to perform an act of kindness and charity: to keep a dying man company as he takes his final breath .That’s my first waltz with the author and I’m so sorry for my years I wasted without reading any of her works.
