The undertaker who
investigates the deaths of his clients - you'll be saying, why
didn't I think of this. Well Tim Cockey beat you to it, and in
the third book of the series featuring Baltimore's coolest
mortician Hitchcock Sewell, he's in fine form. The plot such as
it is mainly concerns the murders of seedy nightclub owner
Shrimp Martin and his step -brother Arthur. Actually the plot is
so convoluted and so many other people are murdered or turn up
as suspects that your reviewer was soon totally confused. Not
that it matters, because the book clips along at a fine pace,
with some excellent writing and intriguing characters to enjoy,
not least Hitch's savvy Aunt Billie with whom he runs the
business.
