Publisher's Synopsis
Another pitch-perfect mystery in a series that never disappoints, always surprises, and keeps the laughs - and the corpses - rolling. A former lover asks Hitch to investigate when her nanny, Sophie, turns up dead and pregnant. Hitch learn that Sophie was interested in an amorphous religious organisation. The case heats up when Hitch uncovers some puzzling connections. As usual, the writing is smooth and amusing. Fans will be glad to see such series regulars as Hitch's ex-wife, Julia; his mortuary partner, Aunt Billie; and 12-year-old mortician wannabe Darryl Sandusky.
