This is a fun mystery series starring Baltimore undertaker Hitch Sewell. Light, entertaining reading.

A nice, light read with an interesting story and quirky characters. The writing is well paced and peppered with enough humor, sarcasm and pop culture references to make it both compelling and funny. It moves along nicely and brings you right along for the ride - in Hitcock Sewell's hearse!

A decent yarn but not as good as the first one. I loved the first half but the second half dragged for a while, though I did like the ending.

A good mystery with laugh-out-loud humor as part of the main character's personality. Loved it and all of the other Hitchcock Sewell books by Tim Cockey!

Less zany than the first one in the series. Hitch is still a smart aleck and defender of the helpless. He gets roped into a tangled web of family deceptions and despair when a body is dropped on the steps of his funeral home when inside a family gathers around a doctor who died of a heart attack. Coincidence, act of defiance, remorse, warning? Nothing and all of the above perhaps.
A better structured plot, a lot less secondary or just passing through zany characters make this second novel in Cockey's undertaker/detective series much more interesting than the first one.

I am not sure why I chose this neon book off the library shelves, but I am glad I did. The slutty, good-looking hero is wise-cracking, dog-loving sleuth surrounded by murders and a few made-for-tv plot twists.
