This group consists of a pair of individuals who will go and sit with someone and comfort them in their final moments/hours. Calvin grows a lot throughout this book, both in his personal life and in the faith he has in his own skill at his job. As Felix investigates, could it be that what he thought was a heartbreaking mistake was in fact a deliberate set up? And I loved the silly comradery of the police headquarters, with their constant battle against the thieving snack machine, jokes about ever present fruitcake, and Calvin's daily contest with his partner for who has had the "worst day ever". It’s a very long time since I have said that all too familiar line (which I often find annoying in reviews) that I read this book in a day!

I didn't remember the reviews I read of this before plunging in, so I was shocked to discover this was about our modern day society. Although I would have looked the other way if the ginger tomcat, that was a semi-lovable bully, accidentally received a faceful of water 😂.People helping you to kill yourself, the concept sounds sinister and incredibly different from what I normally read, however, this book was not what I really expected to hear. In fact, I think by the end, the reader will get a taste of everyone’s viewpoint, including the villain’s.
