I've never seen an episode of Monk but I know my mom loves it. If Rally 'Round the Corpse was anywhere near as good as one of her favorite shows, I knew I was in for a treat. The plot is pretty creative. I've read about the murder mystery parties, but I've never heard of a murder mystery tour. That's very clever and it certainly led to the appeal.

The story isn't set in just one place as the rally visits different settings, which in turn, causes some of the characters to act in different ways. Although it started a bit slow, it definitely picked up pace, as well as Amy's character began to open up. I won't tell you what happens because most of the fun is the journey in getting there. What I can say is that I look forward to another book by Hy Conrad. If you enjoy light suspense with vividly drawn characters and superb writing, pick up Rally 'Round the Corpse!
