Description

What self-respecting undertaker would allow himself to get involved in a murder investigation, a series of dirty videos, a case of political blackmail, and police corruption, as well as one of the worst amateur theater productions in recent memory None, unless your name happens to be Hitchcock Sewell, the most charming suspense hero to come along in years. And who knew an undertaker could look so good In this fast-paced and enormously entertaining mystery, Hitch has gotten himself into more show more trouble than any self-respecting undertaker should.

I've always wanted to use the phrase 'sardonic wit' and Tim Cockey, bless his heart, has now given me a chance. This story is overflowing with sardonic wit. It's funny but it is not a lighthearted mystery. It's an excellent story written by a guy who can turn a phrase until it nearly backs over itself. Hitchcock Sewell is an undertaker who now also appears in Cockey's second book which is absolutely on my list to read soon!
I enjoyed the dhumor, the different perspective and the baltimore scenes
it was okay, not too deep or characters well developed; until the end - which was rushed and not good

Une vie de croque-mort peut être bien mouvementée (trop, peut-être?)
