Never Touch a Dead Body

Mercedes Harrigan, novice landlord, is a pro at cleaning up messy apartments but cleaning up after an elderly tenant dies presents a different dilemma. It's not the dead body lying on the kitchen floor that has Sadie freaked out, she grew up playing among the caskets at her grandmother's mortuary, it's the coroner's suspicion that the wiring in Sadies vintage apartments could be the culprit. Add a threatened lawsuit by the family of the deceased, along with bizarre clues that pop up but don't add up and Sadie's morale dips lower than the meager balance in her bank account. When none of the authorities will listen to Sadie's suspicions about the supposedly accidental death, Sadie enlists the help of her BFF Rebbie Russell. As the duo digs into the tenants life the sweet-old-lady facade crumbles and a nastier profile emerges, providing plenty of suspects. Threats against Sadie escalate as they come to the conclusion that her death was not due to old age and a three pack a day habit but rather a cleverly planned murder. When a second murder is made to look like a random mugging, Sadie knows she's on the right track. But can she expose the murderer before she winds up in one of her grandmother's caskets

About the Author

J. W. Hodge loves committing murder on paper. She believes it's very therapeutic. She did grow up playing in her grandmother's mortuary so her view of death might be a little skewed. She and her husband are kept busy cleaning and repairing their many apartment complexes. When she's not cleaning or writing she's busy rescuing dogs, feral cats, and battling with a flock of wild turkeys for the rights to her back hillside. She's a member of Sisters in Crime and belongs to two local writer's critique groups.
