Critical Reviews

"Prepare to laugh yourself to Death--Dapunt's debut mixes humor and heart with brilliant results. I couldn't put it down." -- MJ Wassmer, author of Zero Stars, Do Not Recommend

"Gloriously absurdist, darkly comic and utterly readable -- twisty fantasy meets Jane Austen with a scythe. Love it." -- Helen Lederer, comedian and founder of the Comedy Women in Print Prize

"Veronika Dapunt masterfully blends dark humor with a compelling mystery, offering a fresh and often hilarious perspective on life and death." -- Joanna Wallace, author of You'd Look Better as a Ghost

"Funny and smart with something new to. Think about and laugh at on every page. A top class, deep-dish murder mystery and one of my favorite books of any year." -- Ian Moore, comedian and author of bestselling Death and Croissants

"Veronika Dapunt has written a book that you'd hate for being so original and clever, if it wasn't so good! Packed with deadpan humor, dry wit and warm emotion, Death And Other Occupational Hazards is a tour de deathly force that grapples with what it is to be human, as well as a puzzling series of crimes. A murder mystery novel that really makes you appreciate being alive! I loved it" -- Alice Bell, author of Grave Expectations

"Irreverent and heartfelt" -- Caitlin Rozakis, New York Times bestselling author of Dreadful

"Satirical, funny, and packed with wry observations on how humans approach death, and life."--firstCLUE

"Veronika Dapunt's wonderful debut is clever and original - weaving together dark comedy, heart and a compelling murder mystery. I enjoyed every second of it." -- C.L. Miller, USA Today bestselling author of The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder
