À propos de cet audio
In this hard-boiled mystery series opener, a former nurse becomes a coroner who winds up investigating her cheating ex-husband for murder.
When Mattie Winston catches her husband, Dr. David Winston, receiving some very special loving care from RN Karen Owenby, she quits her job and moves out. Mattie's best friend, Izzy, offers her a place to stay and suggests she'd be a natural as deputy coroner. Now, instead of taking patients' pulses, Mattie's weighing their hearts and livers.
But Mattie's first homicide call turns out to be for none other than Nurse Karen, and even though she saw her ex in a heated argument with the newly deceased the night before, she refuses to believe David could be a killer. Keeping mum about what she saw, Mattie is also left speechless by the sight of hunky Detective Steve Hurley....
From learning the ropes on her new job to sorting out her feelings about her ex and dealing with her growing attraction to Detective Hurley, Mattie's in deep water and in danger of sinking quickly, especially when she places herself dead center in the path of a desperate - yet determined - killer....

Solid narration but the story falls flat
…this is the introduction to Mattie Winston, an Amazonian former nurse who becomes a medical examiner and by proxy, an amateur sleuth in small-town Wisconsin. As of 2021 there’s 13 books in Mattie’s series, where she bumbles her way through life, a pending divorce, a new career, and possibly new romance. Also her kitten Rubbish is on hand for all types of tampon-shredding hijinks.
A dark comedy, this starts with great promise and Jorjeana Marie is a solid narrator…but the director lets way too many medical mispronunciations slide (which takes you out of the idea this woman is any sort of nursing expert), and the story itself takes a ham-fisted approach to both homosexuality and the HIV epidemic. The actual mystery is solid, but the climax has a goofy rescue attempt that feels tacked on…like the writer painted herself in a corner, instead of developing what could’ve been a fun thing to pull off.
This one ends on a solid cliffhanger, however; so I’ll probably give its sequel a shot.
