April 09, 2008: Callie Parrish works at Middleton's as a mortuary cosmetologist in South Carolina. Otis and Odel Middleton are real characters, but she enjoys her job. Callie discovers a needle broken off in Bobby Saxon's neck while she is applying makeup and styling his hair. Bobby, a local car salesman and womanizer, was found floating face down in a swimming pool. Since he was a heavy drinker, the coroner accepted drowning as the cause of death. Although Bobby was the age of Callie's older brothers, his current wife was a school friend of Callie's. Callie calls her bouncy Betty (behind her back). She's also quite brash. When Bobby is sent for an autopsy, his fancy, empty casket is stolen and Callie is hit on the head. When she comes to in the ER, she finds Dr. Don Walters to be quite a dish. After she is released with stitches, he asks her out on a date. She accepts. Callie's best friend, Jane is blind but assists Callie in determining motives and solving crimes. June Bug Corley, a local bar owner, is found shot in his parking lot. Soon Callie becomes a target, receiving nasty phone calls that are threatening and then someone breaking into her house. Does she know more than she realizes? Can she solve these crimes before she is the next victim? Callie is a great character. I look forward to reading many more books in this series. Having an amateur sleuth in a mortuary really has a lot of possibilities. Gives her good reason to be sleuthing as well. I love her friend Jane. It's always amazing to me all the things she can do. But yet the author has made it very believable. The South Carolina setting is great as well. I highly recommend this book.
