Funny, interesting, and a little romance. Can't wait to read the rest of the series! ( ) I felt like I ran into a more sophisticated Stephanie Plum with all the eating and mishaps by Mattie Winston. Mattie, a nurse, has joined the medical examiner's team, and the adventures Mattie encounters remind me of Janet Evanovich's writing. Wisconsin replaces New Jersey, and the medical profession replaces bounty hunting in this hilarious series. Annelise Ryan saunters into the autopsy lab with ease and utilitizes expertise in resolving a murder. I love the small kitten, Rubbish, and would love to catch and hug him. Of course, that euphoria could extend to Detective Steve Hurley. This story does not fall 100% under a cozy mystery, but not a hard-core thriller. 2.5 Stars I believe that had I read this first, I'd not have read the second one in the series. This is "light" reading at its lightest....nothing of substance here...just "ho-hum". Mattie is a new ME who has just quit her job as RN at the local hospital where her husband is a prominent surgeon. She has caught David & Karen Owenby, another nurse, in a very compromising position and is now in the process of divorcing him. Karen has just turned up dead & David id the main suspect..... Mattie thinks David is many things, but not a murderer and she sets out to clear him from murder charges. While investigating a medical supply company that Karen was involved in, Mattie finds the body of a man she was questioning just moments before he ran into the back room and shut the door in her face. The book's ending was pretty weak......and things didn't add up until the end. I was very disappointed. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML: In this hard-boiled mystery series opener, a former nurse becomes a coroner who winds up investigating her cheating ex-husband for murder. When Mattie Winston catches her husband Dr. David Winston receiving some very special loving care from R.N. Karen Owenby, she quits her job and moves out. Mattie's best friend Izzy offers her a place to stay and suggests she'd be a natural as deputy coroner. Now, instead of taking patients' pulses, Mattie's weighing their hearts and livers. But Mattie's first homicide call turns out to be for none other than Nurse Karen, and even though she saw her ex in a heated argument with the newly deceased the night before, she refuses to believe David could be a killer. Keeping mum about what she saw, Mattie is also left speechless by the sight of hunky Detective Steve Hurley . . . From learning the ropes on her new job to sorting out her feelings about her ex and dealing with her growing attraction to Detective Hurley, Mattie's in deep water and in danger of sinking quickly, especially when she places herself dead center in the path of a desperateâ??yet determinedâ??killer . . . Praise for USA Todayâ??bestselling author Annelise Ryan and her Mattie Winston series "Ryan shows growing skill at mixing humor with CSI-style crime."â??Publishers Weekly "The forensic details will interest Patricia Cornwell readers . . .while the often slapstick humor and the blossoming romance between Mattie and Hurley will draw Evanovich fans."â??BoKeine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
