description
Hitchcock Sewell, Baltimore's
hippest undertaker and civilian sleuth, is back in a second sly, original
mystery. One of the most charming and offbeat amateur detectives to come around
in years, Hitchcock Sewell does for the undertaking profession what Marilyn
Monroe did for the ukulele gives it a touch of class. In this rollicking
follow-up to Tim Cockey's "witty, punchy, snappy, well-written, and dang funny
debut" (Harlan Coben, author of The Final Detail), a surprise blizzard dumps
more than snow on the steps of Sewell & Sons funeral home it leaves behind
the corpse of a murdered waitress as well. Hitch's television meteorologist
girlfriend sees the crime as an opportunity to move into hard news. Her unctuous
mentor wants to beat Hitch to the punch. Hitch's snooping takes him from
low-life strip joints to high-tone mansions, proving yet again that undertakers
and their clue-happy cohorts can be a pretty lively bunch. |

reviews
New
York Times
Sewell and Sons...no cheap gimmicks, nothing
ostentatious, just class all the way.
Washington
Post
Cockey's contribution...has less to do with his hero's
career...than with his wit, which is ceaseless,
remorseless and fun.
Booklist
...focus here is on bittersweet comedy rather than
intricate puzzle-solving... a comedy series that has
definitely come into its own.
Library
Journal
Delightful rose, provocative humor, and engaging
characters move this right to the top. Most appealing. |
