The novel was published in the United Kingdom in 2002 by Bantam and in the United States in 2003 by St. Martin's Minotaur.A book reviewer for The Daily Telegraph wrote that the novel is an "auspicious debut which leaves me looking forward eagerly to Mr Kernick's next book." Variety is the spice of death, by Susanna Yager, The Daily Telegraph 04 Aug 2002. The reviewer in Booklist wrote "Kernick's debut is compelling, dark, and suspenseful" and that "while there are a few places where his unusual plot fails to convince, Kernick clearly has a promising future".The Business of Dying (Book). By: Melton, Emily. Booklist, 5/1/2003, Vol. 99 Issue 17, p1547. The reviewer in Publishers Weekly wrote "Kernick does a masterful job of making Milne sympathetic, despite his callous brutalities, by combining a captivating first-person narrative with emotionally complex characterization. The portrayal of the harsh realism of the mean city streets is complemented by the revelations of the secret lives of the supporting characters with their masks of public respectability. Powerful prose, tight plotting and a clever fair-play puzzle add up to a remarkable first effort."THE BUSINESS OF DYING (Book). By: Cannon, Peter; Zaleski, Jeff. Publishers Weekly, 5/5/2003, Vol. 250 Issue 18, p203. The reviewer for the Library Journal wrote: "Told with clarity and wit, this is an unusual but effective approach to the British police procedural from a new voice. Strongly recommended."The Business of Dying (Book). By: Klett, Rex. Library Journal, 6/1/2003, Vol. 128 Issue 10, p171 The review in Kirkus Reviews says "Nicely plotted and briskly paced, with a voice not unlike James M. Cain's in Double Indemnity."THE BUSINESS OF DYING (Book). Kirkus Reviews, 5/1/2003, Vol. 71 Issue 9, p646
