The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death, by Charlie Huston

The hero of this novel, Web, ends up working as a crime scene cleaner.   Mopping up blood and other mess.   But the book isn't overly full of gore.   It is an interesting drama, a study of a troubled person and how he evolves as he tries to move forward in his life but ends up stumbling a bit, into some crime and intrigue and dismay.  To be clear though, this book is not a downer; Web does move forward and the ending is satisfying.   Worth reading.
