This series just keeps getting better and better and I think this is (so far, I have one book remaining... sigh...) the best one yet.

New publican Eli is with his Uncle who is getting interviewed for an article. Uncle Harry suggests that Eli tell the reporter about the Zombie Ball incident. The story is told in a flashback, right after a newly divorced Eli has moved back to live in the apartment above his recently widowed Uncle Harry. Eli is invited to be a warm-up act for the main entertainer at the swanky and exclusive fundraiser, the Zombie Ball. Rather than having one main sponsor, the ball has two pharmaceutical sponsors who just happened to be rivals.

Eli is happy to perform since he could use the money and the feature performer is someone who Harry had worked with in the past, Joey Dee. Since this is Eli and murders seem to follow him, there is more than one dead body with clues leading to the enviable arrest of the perpetrator (which I didn't see coming at all!)

This is another fine entry in the series and, as I have mentioned previously, please read in order.
