Death Perception by Lee Allen Howard

 

Like Life, Death too surrounds us.

While it scares the heebie jeebies out of most of us, to those that work with the sick and dying it is normal and natural.

To nineteen-year-old Kennet Singleton, who works at a crematorium, it is so part of his life that he toasts marshmallows over their ashes.

Shiver. That’s not even the scariest or creepiest part yet. While eating those toasted, soft and squishy marshmallows, he sees visions, visions of the cause of that person’s death.

These are no mere psychic visions. These are transportation's where Kennet feels the same symptoms the person dying felt. The same gasps and gulps for air as they fight to live.

If you think this is a horror story, think again.

Death Perception by Lee Allen Howard is a crime thriller with a supernatural twist that takes a good, hard look at how the sick and elderly are taken advantage off in our current healthcare system.

After a rough childhood undergoing mental and physical torture by his dad, Kennet now lives with his invalid mom at a health care facility. When he senses unnatural deaths; murders, happening around him Kennet decides to take some action. After all...

“What’s a gift ...unless it helps somebody else?”

Will Kennet get justice for the dead?

Or will he be condemned for his ‘gift’?

Death Perception takes murder mystery’s to another level. Witty and devious the book is choc-a block full of twists and turns at every step. Giving it a macabre sense of surrealism is the fact that the clues to solve the murders come from the dead, themselves. 

Lee’s use of dark humour sets the book on fire. For a book that is all about death, it very strangely teaches us the value of living. To pause, smell the roses and to always help those around us.

A book that is grounded in reality and one that keeps giving us the message that...

“Nothing is impossible if you just have courage”

 

So glad I got this RC it was spooky and thrilling to read. Hope you liked my fair and honest review.

Happy Reading
