Backstabber: A Hitchcock Sewell Mystery

Written by Tim Cockey

Narrated by Patrick Lawlor

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!

Another from the TBR pile, fair mystery, easily 100 pages too long, the author isn’t as funny as he thinks he is. Alright if you have some time to kill.
Maybe it helps if you start at the beginning of the series.

It had potential. I think I would have liked it much more if I hadn't gotten the abridged version.Hitchcock is an undertaker and we first meet him when he's trying to figure out why he's been called to an obvious murder scene before the cops. Only to discover his friend wants him to make the body 'disappear'. The mystery was pretty well hidden, the story was pretty good and Hitchcock was pretty funny. I'd be willing to try another one, though next time it will be an unabridged copy.

Latest of the "Hearse" mysteries. Cockey's work is always a good read.
