Felix, a 75-year-old widower in SW England, is an Exiter, someone who offers companionship to terminally ill people who have chosen to die by suicide. His role is entirely passive, to lend moral support and then remove the evidence to not distress family and loved ones. But this act of kindness and charity goes off the rails with a terrible mistake when the wrong person dies. But what if this fatal mistake was a set-up to enable a murder? A wondaful treatise on aging with some seriously funny moments.
Exit – Belinda Bauer
What David Read 
I have just reviewed this and I loved it too for many of the reasons you cite: loved Felix’s quiet humane dignity, and Bauer’s balance pf pathos and humour was superb!
