  The Book of the Dead is an ancient Egyptian funerary text written on papyrus and used from the beginning of the New Kingdom. 
   
  The book was placed in the coffin or burial chamber of the deceased, was part of a tradition of funerary texts which includes the earlier Pyramid Texts and Coffin Texts, which were painted onto objects, not written on papyrus. A number of the spells which make up the Book continued to be separately inscribed on tomb walls and sarcophagi, as the spells from which they originated always had been. 
   
  The path to the afterlife as laid out in the Book of the Dead was a difficult one. The deceased was required to pass a series of gates, caverns and mounds guarded by supernatural creatures.[These terrifying entities were armed with enormous knives and are illustrated in grotesque forms, typically as human figures with the heads of animals or combinations of different ferocious beasts. Their names—for instance, "He who lives on snakes" or "He who dances in blood"—are equally grotesque. These creatures had to be pacified by reciting the appropriate spells included in the Book of the Dead; once pacified they posed no further threat, and could even extend their protection to the dead person 
   
  Most owners of the Book of the Dead were evidently part of the social elite; they were initially reserved for the royal family, but later papyri are found in the tombs of scribes, priests and officials. Most owners were men, and generally, the vignettes included the owner's wife as well. 
   
  In this rare one-of-a-kind audiobook adventure the listener is met with the unexpected nature of a grand literary trek.

  Rescuing this pup could bring her a whole new life… if it doesn’t kill her first. 
  Ivy Galloway doesn’t know how desperate she is to escape the big city and her soul-sucking corporate career until she meets a sheepdog in need of rescue, too. Ivy has downsized so many staff that her boss calls her “the grim reaper” of HR but it’s the only job she’s known. It would take something huge to make her leave that behind. 
  Or something small… like a pup in the wrong hands. Criminal hands. 
  Enlisting her best friend, she confronts the dog’s deadbeat owner with logic, humor and professional courtesy. When her HR skills fall flat, however, conservative Ivy starts breaking the rules. The clever dog digs in to help by unearthing a chilling clue that could put his owner away for good. 
  Can Ivy and the pup she loves evade a genuine grim reaper long enough to gain a new leash on life in the country? 
  This short prequel to the laugh-out-loud Bought-the-Farm Mystery series is a page-turner for lovers of animals, humor and spunky amateur sleuths.
