Scared Stiff
Scared Stiff | Annelise Ryan
10 posts | 7 read | 4 to read
An appealing series on multiple fronts." -Booklist Shows skill at mixing humor with CSI-style crime." -Publishers Weekly When Deputy Coroner Mattie Winston and her boss/best friend, Izzy, are called to the home of waitress and part-time model Shannon Tolliver, they find the ghoulish Halloween decorations a bit too authentic. Among the fake blood and skeletons is the corpse of Shannon herself. Since the whole town knows Shannon recently had a very public spat with her estranged husband, Erik, he's suspect #1. But Mattie happens to know Erik truly loved his wife, and is simply incapable of the brutal act-even if he owns the exact same caliber handgun as the murder weapon. . . Determined to unearth the truth, Mattie puts her scalpel-sharp medical skills to work, and digs a little deeper. What she uncovers is stranger than anyone could have imagined. . . Praise for Annelise Ryan and Working Stiff "Has it all: suspense, laughter, a spicy dash of romance. . ." -Tess Gerritsen "Sassy, sexy, and suspenseful. . .wry and original." -Carolyn Hart "Make way for Mattie Winston, the funniest deputy coroner to cut up a corpse since, well, ever." -Laura Levine

Mehso-so

I almost dnf‘d this a few times because the baudy humor was so over the top. The second half was better but i have some issues with the ending. My mother loved it so….to each their own.

I did a ton of driving this week, which helped my points so much since I did very little print reading. (I'll post book reviews later this week!)

The second book in the series, and I realise it‘s a bit more gory than the usual cozies. As the main character is the assistant coroner, there‘s a bit of CSI style here. The story moves along quickly and the murderer was unexpected. An enjoyable read with a quirky main character.

Librarybelle The content may be a little bit more gory than the usual cozy, but that cover definitely looks like a cozy cover! 4y
ferskner I LOVE this cover! Always up for Halloween cozies. 4y

Book 14: I think I like this series so much because it vaguely reminds me of Bones. This one threw me off a bit... I didn‘t guess the murderer until it was revealed!
