Casket Case: A Novel By Lauren Evans

In the charming debut rom-com Casket Case, Nora Clanton returns to her hometown of Rabbittown, Alabama, to manage her family's casket business after a personal tragedy upends her life. Struggling to find her footing in a place she thought she’d left behind, Nora's life takes an unexpected turn when a dashing stranger, Garrett Bishop, wanders into her shop asking for directions—and a date.

Garrett quickly seems like the perfect match. He's kind, attentive, and has a demanding job as a logistics coordinator, which keeps him busy with travel and late-night calls. Nora is intrigued by him, though she's somewhat unclear about the specifics of his job. Her curiosity grows as a series of unfortunate deaths occur in town—heart attacks, car crashes—and Garrett is often spotted at the scenes, raising her suspicions.

As Nora digs deeper, she uncovers the shocking truth: Garrett’s job isn’t just about managing logistics—it’s about managing Death itself. Garrett works for Death, coordinating the transition of souls from life to the afterlife.

Struggling to reconcile the man she’s fallen for with the reality of his morbid profession, Nora faces a heart-wrenching dilemma. Can she understand and accept how Garrett’s job aligns with his compassionate nature, or will she have to let go of the best chance at love she’s ever had?

Casket Case is a warm-hearted, clever debut that blends romance with a unique twist on the theme of love and loss. It’s a heartfelt exploration of how even the darkest elements of life can intertwine with the most enduring forms of love. 📚❤️
