Summary

Aisling Grimlock never thought she'd join the family business. In fact, she was dead set against it. When an economic downturn causes her to lose her job, she's forced to go to desperate measures to earn a living.

Aisling comes from a big family of grim reapers - no, that's right. She's the youngest of five siblings - and the only girl - and the testosterone is going to hit the fan when the Grimlocks try to teach Aisling the ropes and keep her safe at the same time.

Between rogue wraiths, murderous new acquaintances and gargoyles dropping from the sky, Aisling has her hands full. That's on top of four brothers (and one curmudgeonly father) who would die for her - while also killing for her - and a police officer who's desperate to learn the family secret.

Follow Aisling as she delves into the mystery of her mother's death and a world she never wanted to explore - and yet might fit in all the same. This omnibus includes the first three books in the Aisling Grimlock mystery series: Grim Tidings, Grim Offerings and Grim Discovery.

A great read!

I thoroughly enjoyed these first three books and only have one complaint - one huge complaint... The narrator totally messed up by mispronouncing Aisling’s name!! I cringed every time she said it!!!

This series is lighthearted and funny. The narrator is good at the various voices. I enjoy them all.

Meh.... Not awful but not great either

The laboured writing of the relationship between Aising and Griffin was offputting, as was the siblings' inability to stand up to ther father. Honestly, couldn't even one of them muster the wherewithal to say, "No, I'm not spending the day playing golf. It's a stupid game, only enjoyed by boring farts, and nobody should be made to endue that sort of torture."

And it would have been a whole lot better to listen to if the narrator had, perhaps, bothered to look up one of the many online pronunciation guides and learned how to pronounce the name of the main protagonist.

"Ash-ling", not "Aye-sling", people!...! It's not even as if it's an uncommon name.

KAZ 😁 Bedford 🇬🇧

If you can try to ignore some of the narration this is quite a good book Some of it can get on your nerves like the"Did "-didn't did didn't & way to many childish arguments between the characters then there's a pretty good story line to the book I laughed at some of the thing's that went on & liked how the story was different so would probably recommend this book 😊
