The Coffin Watchers

Published by Hilliard & Harris
263 pgs Trade Publication $18.95
The CID Team find themselves in a spirited case that begins with the stabbing death of a woman involved with "Watching the Church Porch". Finding the murderer is a must, but is the killer flesh and bone...or an astral apparition?
"This book is tied to the custom of Watching the Church Porch...a sighting of a person's spirt foreshadows that person's death within the year. Firghtening, but not unusual. It is the book, and the exceptional writing, by this exceptional team, that is, however, most unusual. And wonderful." - Esther Luttrell

A Vietnam vet-turned-P.I. ends up at the St. Louis Jewel Arms Apartments; definitely the wrong place and the wrong time. Returning from war in one piece wasn't near the challenge as matching wits with a ruthless killer right here in the good ol' USA.
"Dead bodies start to outnumber the tenants of a seedy apartment building in this sprightly mystery...Applewhite writes with a keen eye for setting and an ear for punchy dialogue. She does a fine job fleshing out the Jewel Arms' tawdry milieu and peopling it with vivid but believable lowlifes...An entertaining, atmospheric read." Discoveries, a KIRKUS service
