Summary: The Best of the ¿Hearse¿ Series!
Comment: This is the third in Tim Cockey's "hearse" series, and it's far and away the best. It has all the humor and attitude of the first two, but here Cockey shows us he can serve up a great mystery too.
Hitchcock ("Hitch") Sewell is a thirtysomething undertaker, surely one of Baltimore's most eligible bachelors. When his good friend Lucy is accused of killing her boyfriend, he sets out to find the real killer. As a truly amateur sleuth, Hitch counts himself lucky when he meets Pete Munger, a bona fide private investigator (unfortunately suffering from a midlife crisis). Together, these two will bring a killer to justice.
This is an intricate mystery, with almost every character having a strong motive. There are twists and turns galore, and at the center of it all is Hitch, whose ironic sense of humor and quick turn of phrase have made this series a continuing delight. The addition of Pete Munger to this series provides a dour counterpoint to Hitch's carefree jesting. I hope and pray Munger is a permanent addition. These two have the makings of a great mystery-solving pair.

Summary: Exciting amateur sleuth
Comment: At Baltimore's Sewell and Sons Family Funeral Home, mortician and wannabe private detective Hitchcock Sewell receives the call from nightclub owner Shrimp Martin during a slow period in which Death takes a vacation. Shrimp, barely able to speak, mumbles that before Lucy Taylor left him she shot him. Later Shrimp is found dead.
The police have one prime suspect Lucy. Though he believes Lucy shot Shrimp, Hitch refuses to accept his childhood friend as the murderess. He begins an investigation using his most incognito vehicle, the hearse. His inquiry leads Hitch to Pete Munger of Munger and Associates private investigation company who has been hired to find Shrimp's missing stepbrother. The amateur and the licensed agree to partner their resources to uncover the truth about a murder (or two) and a missing person.
The third Hearse amateur sleuth tale is a weird case that contains Tim Cockey's all over the place sense of humor as the hero is parts reverent, parts street smart, and parts corny. The who-done-it entertains the audience thanks to a strong secondary cast that propels the plot forward and enables the fans to better understand Hitch. Fans of amusing amateur sleuth stores will want to read THE HEARSE CASE SCENARIO and the previous two novels due to Hitch, who knows that sooner or later he will get his man or woman.

Summary: Enjoyed My Introduction to This Author
Comment: I had never heard of Tim Cockey. The book was loaned to me and I enjoyed it. I could only give it four stars, because I felt it slowed down in places. I am interested in reading the others.
Baltimore has become a popular place for crime series. On television there was Homicide, Life on the Street, and the HBO Series, The Edge. It's a fun city to visit and some of this was brought out in the book. The Protagonist Hitch is funny and tart. He should put out a Private Detective shingle on the door of the funeral home. He is humorous next to his morose sidekick, Pete, the real private eye who wants to get out of the business.
Enjoy, tolerate the slowness in the writing at times. A romp through the streets of Baltimore and Rehoboth, Delaware.
