Class/Genre: Mystery Humorous Amateur Sleuth
Series: Hitchcock Sewell # 1
It isn't often I find a truly funny author. There are plenty that are humorous and even parts of the story have laugh-out-loud moments. For someone to come along with to true, continuous, riotous wit, but not to the point of distraction is a rare gift. Janet Evanovich is one; Robert Crais comes close. Well, Tim Cockey is another genuine article. He even has a funny name. I was laughing out loud before I got off the copyright page. Hitchcock Sewel is our hero and he's a mortician (can ya dig it?).
The Hearse You Came in On is Cockey's first book. Hitch becomes involved with a young woman who, initially, he meets at the funeral parlor asking about making arrangements for her own funeral. From there on its one mystery after another. Who is this lady? Why does she think she'll need a funeral? Or does she? It's not all laughs, either. There are moments of introspection, "I always figured that people without baggage have never been anywhere." A fabulous book; I highly recommend it.
