First in the series. According to my transaction archive, I read this a long time ago but I honestly don't remember it. Anyway I'm going to read the whole series in order now. I liked the pacing, good dialogue, and good supporting characters - almost all of them felt like they could exist. I liked how Death just shows up at various points, poking Casey into action without telling her what to do or saying anything concrete, really, and it's interesting how a few other people can see Death as well. What do they see when they look at Death, and why don't they know who she is like Casey does? Clemens provided a big fat clue to whodunit fairly early on but I didn't pick up on it. Although we get a lot from Casey about her grief, and a few flashbacks of her previous life, she seems reather enigmatic. I didn't understand is why she obviously feels in danger from the car company representatives, I guess there is a reason as they keep chasing Casey around the country, but there doesn't seem to be a solid reason why.
