A thief, a liar, a fraudster and eventually a killer, Marcel Petiot spent most of his life operating undetected due to a comedy of errors and lack of communication.

You can text us here!Mark Hoffman is an author, journalist and playwright, and he joined us to talk about his new book, 'Good Mourning... A Guide To Biting The Big One... And Dying Too'.The book itself is a rather irreverent look at some of the customs and rituals surrounding death in different cultures, along with a study of human emotions. Written a couple of weeks after the death of his own father, Mark takes the reader on a comical and sometimes slightly offensive ride, navigating the tricky waters of relatives, funeral homes, ghosts and the afterlife.I enjoyed the book, and we enjoyed our chat with Mark.
