Morgue Mama: The Cross Kisses Back (Morgue Mama Mysteries (Paperback))

"In Corwin's witty and engaging caper, the start of a new series, newspaper archivist Dol-Iy Madison Sprowls, called Morgue Mama 'behind her back, ' and a determined cub re-porter, Aubrey McGinty, team up to investigate the poisoning of TV evangelist Buddy Wing at the Heaven Bound Cathedral in 'the Hallelujah city' of Hannawa, Ohio.... The irrepressible, 67-year-old Maddy (as she prefers to be called), a lonely divorcie clinging to her post as manager of the Hannawa Herald-Union's morgue, helps Aubrey search the newspa-per's records, which yield a multitude of suspects, some amusing and some tragic, but each adding an intriguing dimension to the ever more complex case. Smalltown politics and office love affairs entangle almost every-one except Maddy, whose existence be-fore now has revolved around filing news ar-ticles in steel cabinets for brash reporters to paw through. Her matchup with Aubrey brings her and the reader genuine excite-ment right through the stunning conclusion to this lively adventure."
