Overview

Tim Cockey, writer of wrongs, is at it again with another installment of the most talked-about series in the mystery world today.
He's suave, he's sexy, he's cool...and he's an undertaker. Hitchcock Sewell is back in one of the funniest and most fast-paced novels yet in Tim Cockey's celebrated award-winning series. A man has been murdered in his kitchen. And the apparent killer wants Hitch to scoop up the body and take it away...before the police have arrived. Meanwhile, across town, Hitch smells a rat -- maybe two -- in the nursing home where an old friend of his has taken up residence. With his matchless wit and uncommon ability to dig out the truth, Hitch is once again up to his old tricks...and mystery readers couldn't be happier.

I do like Hitch but this story dragged on a bit long. No matter, I will return for more of his work.

I wouldn't recommend this reading. The writing is trite and elementary and the reader is very poor in inflection and delivery in general. I couldn't get past the lst tape.

My First Hitch, Loved It

This was my first ever Hitchcock Sewell mystery, and I loved it. I was bummed that there aren't any more on SA.com, may go out and buy the paper version (horrors). The main character has such a wonderful, ironic sense of humor - very much my style. And, I love the fact that he's a funeral director as opposed to a detective or something you see all the time. The result is that these books have a little of the wackiness of a Janet Evanovitch novel, with more real meat to the mystery. The reader here was not quite right, though. Somehow, he didn't sound like I would imagine the character to sound, although he had OK delivery on the jokes.

Hitchcock Sewell at his best. Tim Cockey can't write these adventures fast enough to suit me. You'll enjoy the twists and turns in this one which nicely dovetails two apparently unrelated crimes. A must read for those who have enjoyed Hitch in the past.
