Working in the family funeral parlor, Desiree Turner not only deals with the deceased, it seems she spends quite a bit of time figuring out their cause of death. Must be the journalist in her, but when she over hears two sisters conversation as she is planning their fathers funeral, she questions whether they sod up their father’s death.
As Desiree and her boyfriend Nate, the local medical examiner, discover another questionable death it seems the town begins to fear being accused of murder when they bury a loved one. As a result business drops off and Desiree is pressured into giving up her snooping. But that doesn’t last long and she’s back at it. You won’t guess who did it and why until the very end.
OK, I’ll admit it. Funeral parlors creep me out. I mean it’s the thing my nightmares are made of. Yet I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent at the Turner Family Funeral Home...and can’t wait until the next viewing, I mean book.

I really enjoyed this book! I can see so much potential in this series and it excites me! Lillian Bell writes a great mystery with delightful characters and a fantastic setting! It's unique, fun, and fresh! I very much recommend this series for seasoned cozy readers and those who are new to the genre.

It's a normal business day at the Turner Family Funeral Home until funeral director/reporter Desiree Turner overhears a conversation that arouses suspicions about the death of one of her clients. Did she misunderstand what she heard, or is she once again involved in murder? As the family business starts to suffer, and Desiree's life is in danger, she knows that she (and her new canine companion) have no choice but to investigate. Excellent little cozy mystery, with just the right amount of humor and romance thrown in. If the Coffin Fits by author Lillian Bell receives an A+ from this happy lover of cozy mysteries!

A great book! I really enjoyed this book. The writing style is easy to read and the character likable. Orion is the cutest dog. I loved the plot and the follow-thru. #IfTheCoffinFits #NetGalley

Oh how I love this series. This is the second in the Funeral Parlor Mysteries by Lillian Bell. In this book, Desiree Turner is working at her family's funeral home. Suddenly there seem to be a lot of suspicious deaths, and Desiree is starting to think what she sees and hears are all related. Of course, she also thinks her presumed-dead father is still alive, so what's a little murder mystery in the grand scheme of things? Those around her tend to think she is overreacting as usual, but a near miss starts to make them nervous. Then there is the drop off in business after Desiree starts to accuse people of murder. Oh, and she adopts a dead woman's dog. All in all, an average week for Desiree.
I didn't think this book was quite as good as the first, but it was still pretty great. I love the humor. It's realistic and not reaching. The characters are likeable and easy to identify with. The town is small enough to seem like an authentic cozy, but still large enough to have a good suspect pool. Great book

This is the second of this series and I have eagerly read them both. Humor, but not cutesy. Smart, but light. Enjoyable, not over the top characters. Good, solid cozy series and I am looking forward to the next installment.
