Hitchcock Sewell is an undertaker.  His former girlfriend, Libby, has come to town. 
She enlists the help of Hitch to help find her nanny who disappeared.  As Hitch starts to investigate, the nanny is discovered.  Her body is found in the river and it appears she was pregnant.  Libby informs Hitch that her husband recently beat her.  Could Libby's husband be responsible for the nanny's death? 

The police seem to believe the case is a suicide; however, the nanny's mother doesn't believe this - she is sure it was murder.  Hitch runs into many questions as he begins his investigation. 

This is the fourth installment in the hearse mystery series.  The author does a great job of describing Hitch.  He is a very likeable character loaded with humor and wit.  This is an excellent book for anyone who likes to read a good fun-loving mystery.  We look forward to the next installment of Hitchcock Sewell.
