While Dead(ish) started out funny with an interesting premise, it quickly turned into an incomprehensible mess. The story is told from the viewpoint of whichever character is most convenient at the moment, switching between them (in first person) with no real rhyme or reason. The mystery (who killed the girlfriend, why, and what did they do with her body) got lost in the narrative until the very end, by which point I was like, "right. Okay. Big deal." 
 The writing has a lot of promise--the premise is interesting and at first the narrative voice is fun, funny, and upbeat--but it didn't quite live up to that promise.
