The Undertaker series by Jonathan B. Zeitlin features a funeral director who can’t seem to avoid stumbling into murder cases. The Body in the Hole (2017) launches the series with a corpse found in an unlikely location, and The Body in the Bed (2020) continues with another body turning up where it shouldn’t be.

The series uses its undertaker protagonist to add dark humor to the mystery genre. The character’s day job gives him an unusual perspective on death, which comes in handy when the deaths around him turn out to be anything but natural.
