Undead No More is an interesting take on murder mystery, with a zombie twist. The story follows Lily, a zombie who has been forced to turn to theft to survive in a world that relegates them to the fringes of society. After witnessing a murder, she’s forced to go on the run and turn to her human ex-girlfriend, Tasha, who she’s still in love with, to survive. 

I enjoyed the story overall, although there were some pretty clearly telegraphed clues that Lily just doesn’t pick up on, which I found a bit unbelievable. I know, I know, a zombie story is inherently unbelievable, but considering how intelligent other characters seem to find Lily I thought it was a bit ridiculous that she didn’t pick up on it right away. 

That said, once she finally did the story picked up quickly and Lily became a bit more believable. As for the other characters, Tasha was fabulous, as was Sam, and I enjoyed the other side characters (some of whom are apparently from another series she’s written that I haven’t read, but I’m intrigued and may add to my TBR). The story itself was wrapped up nicely but obviously leaves things open for a sequel. I’ve read other Rachel Ford books, and I’m glad to see that the quality of her writing keeps improving, and I’ll definitely check out future installments of this series.
