The summer before Christopher Newell is set to start college, he gets a job in the morgue because it’s his life’s goal to become a spy and working there should teach him about forensic pathology, if nothing else. Instead he discovers a murder cover-up that points to town officials and close friends. As he works to discover whodunit, the plot thickens with bribery, blackmail, murder, and revenge. With everyone suspect, and danger deepening, it seems that the only person Christopher can trust is Tina McIntyre, an insanely hot, brazen reporter who wants to boost her career with a killer story. Together they might discover the truth, but at what cost? Ford makes his debut with a solid mystery infused with dry wit, but it’s his likable, quirky detectives and their crackling chemistry that make The Morgue and Me anything but stiff.
"Anything but stiff" -- ha. This will be out in the August issue. Thanks SLJ!
Great review! My day job is as a librarian & you might already know this, but SLJ has major pull with both public & school libraries. It should be great for sales! And I love the pun!
