This was a fairly good book, the author is definitely a good writer, although I wouldn’t really claim that the genre of this book is one of my favorites,therefore I probably wouldn’t rate it as high as others would.
That said, there was enough suspense and mystery, though romance was definitely the overriding theme, to keep me interested. The characters were interesting, although I did feel like hitting a few of them over the head more than once. :)

REVIEW: Hearse of a Different Color by Tim Cockey

Another great book in the Hitchcock Sewell mystery series. I love this author’s sense of humour; it’s right up there with Christopher Moore. Hitch is an undertaker who finds himself investigating a murder that puts him in a bit of hot water with his girlfriend, the police, and who knows who else! I’m now hooked and must read the entire series! :) Lucky for us BookCrossers, yllus has been collecting the series and sharing them with us. Thank you for that!

REVIEW: A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton
Date Finished: Thursday, June 9, 2005
My BookCrossing Rating: 6 out of 10 stars
Comments:
The action started out a little slow, and I didn’t really start to get excited about the action until about 3/4 of the way through. Kinsey herself seems to be an interesting enough character though, such that I’m looking forward to the rest of the series. I didn’t really care for the way things ended in this story; Kinsey’s thoughts jumped around a lot towards the end with regards to pinning down in her mind who the murderer was, and even though it was written in first person, you often didn’t understand her train of thought. I also found the author’s paragraphs to run on a bit too long at some points, so that I’d totally lose focus sometimes due to too much detail, or overly descriptive prose.
That said, I remember reading from reviews up at Amazon that this first book in the series wasn’t one of the best, and I’m glad to hear that they only get better from here.

REVIEW: Murder with Puffins by Donna Andrews
Date Finished: Monday, June 6, 2005
My BookCrossing Rating: 7 out of 10 stars
Comments:
Though I really liked this book alot, I didn’t think it was quite as good as the first one, Murder with Peacocks. A little less drama and suspense than the first and fourth one, but still strong on charm and wittiness. That said, I’m really liking the way this author writes though and looking forward to book 3 of the Meg Lanslow mysteries, Revenge of the Wrought-Iron Flamingos which is on it’s way to me through PaperBackSwap.com.
I borrowed this book from the library so I don’t have a BookCrossing journal page to link back to. Instead, see Amazon.com’s page for this book for additional information and reviews.

REVIEW: The Hearse You Came In On by Tim Cockey
Date Finished: Thursday, June 2, 2005
My BookCrossing Rating: 8 out of 10 stars
Comments:
Just finished this last night (I was on vacation for 5 days so it took me a little longer than usual since I didn’t get to read it while I was away… too much else going on.)
I enjoyed the novel enough to look forward to the second one, which is also waiting here for me (though I’ve got a library book to get to first).
The main character, Hitch, has a great sense of humour. For a longish paperback (412 p.) the action moved along fairly swiftly. It was only at the very end that I was looking for things to be wrapped up more quickly than they were. That wasn’t a huge nuisance to me though, if anything, it’ll only cause it to lose one point if that. :)
