About this audiobook
One coffin. Three funerals. The same lambswool lining every time.
Bath, 1874. Undertaker Silas Bream gets an order for a handsome mahogany coffin, paid in advance, delivered to a house that has been shut up for a year. After the funeral, the coffin comes back to his shop — with a tear in the lining he sewed himself, one month ago.
He has never sold a coffin twice.
With a police surgeon named Vetch and three funeral parlors' order books, Bream follows one piece of furniture through six rented houses and three life insurance policies held by three different relatives on one dead man.
A Victorian horror mystery for readers of invoices and inquests.
