I really enjoy this whimsical mystery series starring Hitchcock Sewell. Fun, light reading; pefect for vacation!

The fourth in the Hitchcock Sewell mystery series was a fun read -- it reminded me of the Stephanie Plum series, which is always a pleasure to escape with. One of the things I enjoyed most was the setting of the book -- it takes place in and around Baltimore and Annapolis (primarily), so I was able to envision the locations well. The banter between the likable characters and the story's pacing kept me turning the pages. It's always great to discover an author with local roots who is new to me!

I forgot how much I used to love these! Seriously though, people keep showing up dead around this undertaker.

There's story line, there's character, there's beautiful writing, there's great dialog...this one, the dialog is just so great, so funny, so whitty, so snarky...

The fourth book in the series was interesting enough but not as good as the first two books. Not enough Julia I think, too much Pete. Hitchcock is still interesting and puts his nose into stuff he really shouldn't.
The case is somewhat interesting: a dead "au pair" babysitter, a cheating husband, a dubious religious organization. Lots of pieces that gel at the end into a solution that wasn't as satisfying as it could have been. I've come to except better from this series.
