This was not suspenseful at all. It is like a man called Ove but with murder involved. Cute quirky little murder mystery.
They call themselves The Exiteers.
They don't encourage death. They do not supply the means or "the instrument of death".
They just sit there with the person who wishes to end it all and they witness the end of life.
Their clients who are terminally ill die quickly and without pain; most importantly, they don't die alone.
Everything is above board until a healthy person who had no intention to die ends up dead.
Was it intentional or was it an accident?

What a great read! Something you don’t come across all that often, a really funny murder investigation. Fabulous characters that are so well drawn, especially Felix, the protagonist, a boring 75 year old widower who’s never done anything outlandish in his life. Felix is kind-hearted, well-mannered, ordered and law-abiding. But the charitable work he takes on after the death of his beloved Margaret is anything but ordinary. What transpires when it all goes horribly wrong, together with the resultant impossible mess forms the basis of the plot. It’s hilarious! The police investigators, all of whom are also terrific characters have the task of unravelling not only the murder but a whole host of other serious crimes, all linked in a tangled web. Despite the subject of assisted end of life, it’s such a fun read.

A really great read! Although it took me ages to get through just because of waiting for the ebook to become available again through my library app.
How can you not love Felix, such a fantastic and unique character. And I really enjoyed the mystery, the writing and all the funny bits thrown in too.
I'd love to read Belinda's other books to see what they're like.
