In San Francisco, the souls of the dead are mysteriously disappearing—and you know that can’t be good—in New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore’s delightfully funny sequel to A Dirty Job.
Something really strange is happening in the City by the Bay. People are dying, but their souls are not being collected. Someone—or something—is stealing them and no one knows where they are going, or why, but it has something to do with that big orange bridge. Death Merchant Charlie Asher is just as flummoxed as everyone else. He’s trapped in the body of a fourteen-inch-tall “meat puppet” waiting for his Buddhist nun girlfriend, Audrey, to find him a suitable new body to play host.
To get to the bottom of this abomination, a motley crew of heroes will band together: the seven-foot-tall death merchant Minty Fresh; retired policeman turned bookseller Alphonse Rivera; the Emperor of San Francisco and his dogs, Bummer and Lazarus; and Lily, the former Goth girl. Now if only they can get little Sophie to stop babbling about the coming battle for the very soul of humankind . . .

Review “Writing should be fun. [Moore] takes that to a whole new level. . . .weird, expletive-laden, wildly entertaining . . . the perfect palate cleanser before the fall’s literary entrées. . . . You just can’t make this stuff up. But Chrisopher Moore can.” (Washington Post)“[F]antastically bizarre . . . wickedly entertaining . . . [a] rollicking ride. . . Moore creates a novel that pulses with its own glowing soul start to finish.” (USA Today (3.5 out of 4 stars))“Moore has created a world all his own, tackling dark subjects with a light-hearted irreverence. There’s a surprising amount of pathos to be found in a story that centers around a squirrel-man with a giant dong. Moore fans, rejoice.” (AV Club)“[A] perfect way to end your summer reading, proving once again that Christopher Moore is one of a kind.” (Huffington Post)“Secondhand Souls is a romping tale… There are some great pairings of characters here, and their relationships hold the whole nutty sequel together.” (Bookreporter.com)“This novel is as zany, heartfelt, irresistible, and flat out as strange as it is billed....Secondhand Souls does not disappoint as a sequel and stands up as a solid novel filled with fun, humor, horror, and a fantastical cast of characters.” (New York Journal of Books)“Secondhand Souls isn’t a book you savor. ...This is a binge-reading book, a crazy, fast-paced trip that leaves you satisfied, a little sleepy, and ready for the next installment. I mean, I can’t wait to see what happens when Death goes through puberty.” (Dallas Morning News)“Disturbingly hilarious. And vice versa.” (Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Let's Pretend This Didn't Happen)
From the Back Cover
In San Francisco, the souls of the dead are mysteriously disappearing—and you know that can't be good—in this delightfully funny sequel to the New York Times bestseller A Dirty Job.
It seems like only yesterday that Charlie Asher took on a very dirty job—collecting souls and keeping the Forces of Darkness at bay. But when Charlie faced off against these denizens of darkness he met his own end. Thanks to Audrey, his Buddhist-nun boo, his soul is still alive . . . inside a fourteen-inch-tall body made from lunchmeat and spare animal parts. Waiting for Audrey to find him a suitable new body to play host, Charlie has squirreled himself away from everyone, including his seven-year-old daughter, Sophie—the Luminatus—who enjoys spouting off about her power over the Underworld and her dominion over Death.
Now some really freaky stuff is hitting San Francisco. People are dying, but their souls are not being collected. Someone—or something—is stealing them and no one knows where they are going, or why, but it has something to do with that big orange bridge . . .

A lot of things have changed since the battle with The Morrigan. Beta male Charlie Asher’s soul is stuck in one of his Buddhist girlfriends “meat puppets”, his daughter Sophie aka Death who is now being raised by his sister and her foul mouthed wife has seemingly lost all her powers and Inspector Rivera has taken a break from duty, any everything else for that matter, to get used to his role as the cities newest death merchant. Minty Fresh, while dealing with a broken heart as a result from dating sarcastic goth Lily seems to be the only one not letting personal issues get in the way of duty and thats a big problem. Souls are not being collected and the forces of darkness are once again making their move on the streets of San Francisco. Breaking the rules in the Big Book of Death once again, the gang band together to set things right.I loved A Dirty Job and was excited to see a sequel to a book I thought would remain a stand alone. As usual Christopher Moore’s writing is filled with heart and laughter but I was left somewhat disappointed. I was so happy to find what had become of the gang and spend time with those characters again but it felt kinda lazy to have the baddies the same as the first novel. I think it would have been much more interesting to have read of them battling a whole different kind of evil.I strongly suggest that anyone who hasn’t read A Dirty Job do so before reading this one. Half the fun comes from knowing the history of these characters and seeing where they’ve ended up, not to mention the fact that almost every aspect ties into things we’ve learned about in the first.3.5/5*Thank you William Morrow and Edelweiss for this review copy*
10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. First Rate By Nicole Del Sesto We're back in the world of the beloved characters from A Dirty Job! I think this book works as a stand-alone but I think it's much more enjoyable if you have read A Dirty Job, In fact, I suggest a re-read of A Dirty Job.Trouble is once again afoot in San Francisco, and who better to save the city than a beta male and his 7-year old daughter, a ghost (or two), a snarky young adult, a 70-s wearing, mo-fo saying, large, bald black man named Minty, a Buddhist Nun, a cop-gone-bookseller, and the Emperor of San Francisco and his "men"? And just what are the squirrel people up to?This book seemed more focused on the supernatural to me, where as ADJ was more poignant in its treatment of Death. It was fun, and there were many laugh out loud moments. Sophie was an absolute crack up - I just wish there had been more of her -- but I got the strong sense we'll see more off Sophie in a future book. This story doesn't seem quite over yet.Fast-paced and entertaining! Another winner from Moore
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Like Slipping on a Comfy Pair of Shoes By J. Edgar Mihelic, MBA As much as I have liked Moore’s last couple of books, they felt like he was a little out of his element. I also don’t like the Pocket character too much. So I am glad that Moore came back to his spooky version of the Bay, which seems like his home in this line of books and the You Suck part. It is his home, so I guess that makes sense.The book is well done for a sequel. I read the original when it was fresh out, and I haven’t gone back, so there were some blank spots in my memory about who was what, and in the early part that is brought back in a re-exposition that filled in those blank spots. So that was really nice.The action rises and builds, and if there is one real criticism of the book is that it resolves a little too quickly, and the end comes too soon. I’m not sure if it is the end of the book, or a set-up for something new. I guess we’ll have to see.
