Book Overview

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...

"Sometimes in life, things can't be corny enough"

This latest book by Tim Cockey, "Backstabber" is another great offering, starring Hitchcock Sewell. Some very serious subjects are touched on in the book, in a humorous manner, such as nursing homes. The characters in the nursing home setting make you laugh aloud. The romantic aspects of the book are also touching and humorous. Cockey presents a light way to look at death and the funeral business (and it is a business). Some...

Hitch gets better and better!

KILLER STORY

If you haven't been introduced to Hitchcock Sewell, unwitting part-time detective and suave full-time undertaker, choose any of Mr. Cockey's 5 books at random. You won't be disappointed. His characters rock along in tales that are quirky, frisky, and light. And, hey, along the way you'll learn some interesting trivia to share about the secret life of embalmers. How many books give you that?

Definitely a favorite author and series...

One of the nice things about being a regular at the library is that the librarians start to "look out for you". They know my tastes and make sure I know when particular books come out. One of my favorite ladies over there clued me in to the latest Tim Cockey novel, Backstabber. Fun mystery, good story, and excellent writing and dialog... Cockey's main character is Hitchcock Sewell, an undertaker. This series could accurately...

ANOTHER WINNER

I first read one of his books because the "hearse" pun caught my eye. I immediately got hooked and went out and bought and read the rest. I have been waiting for Backstabber for what seems like forever.Just finished it last week and have to say it was outstanding. His characters, as usual, are so rich and easy to visualize in your mind that they become like close friends. I am usually very quick to figure out mystery novels,...
