Found this yesterday while cleaning the room.  It's been over 8 years I think since I last read it so while I remember the premises its still a great read.

What's the name of the series that book is a part of? I might go and see if I can find some copies myself in the next month or six.
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?.

I finished the book yesterday.  Love the story.  Lots of humorous situations ( Death calling a small girl on the phone...)

I think I'm gonna re-read the series.  I'm really interested in reading "Bearing an Hourglass" and "Wielding a Red Sword" again.

That's a great series. I think the whole idea of the supernatural/hereafter being run by a beaurocracy is absolutely brilliant. When I first saw Beetlejuice and saw them visiting their caseworker, I had a sneaking suspicion that someone had read those books.
Leave the gun. Take the canolis.

My favoriate line:  "Have you ever tried to get a good idea through a beaurocracy?"
