Search - The Hearse You Came in On (Hitchcock Sewell, Bk 1)

This first book in the series gives us a new and interesting character. I can't say that I've read a lot about morticians, especially funny ones. Hitch Sewell is a funny guy, with lots of snide and wry observations. The story is an enjoyable read.

I read this one and the next, but after two books, I was finding that I really didn't like Hitch very much. He has very loose morals; I found his way of thinking not aligned with mine. It was uncomfortable to go around with a guy who is not faithful to his woman (girlfriend in this case) and doesn't feel conflicted by that.

So read the first one, enjoy the funny situations, and try not to identify with Hitch too much.

When a beautiful woman shows up at a funeral home wearing a tennis dress, that's cause for suspicion. When that same woman wants to talk about her own funeral arrangements, well...what self-respecting mortician could resist?

A very entertaining undertaker combined with a good mystery makes good reading

Don't let Cockey's wry dialog and observations fool you, this is a nitty gritty murder story with plenty of curves and turns to keep you reading until the end.

The first in the Hitchcock Sewell series.

I do love Cockey's tales of "Hitch," the tall good-looking Baltimore mortician, his daffy ex-wife, Julia, and his aunt Billie, partner in the funeral home. In this first of the series, Hitch meets Kate. And the bodies pile up. A very funny series.

very funny!!! Highly recommend this guy!

This is a mystery series and is fun to read.

Good cover-up, well done with a nice ending

Fun, somewhat tongue in cheek, and enjoyable.

Fun, but not overwhelmingly clever. I liked this book's refreshing approach, not all the same old stuff. My book club hated it, though.

Very funny. I liked it so much I read all of this author's books.
