About This Book

BIGGIE IS BACK...
Fresh from her acclaimed debut in Biggie and the Poisoned Politician, Lone Star state grandma Biggie Weatherford is set to unravel another down-home mystery.

...AND MURDER TAKES CENTER STAGE
This time out, as her twelve-year-old grandson J.R. narrates, the grande dame of the East Texas town of Job's Crossing definitely has her hands full. She's directing and starring in a local production of HMS Pinafore, but just before the first rehearsal, cast member and new town mortician Monk Carter suddenly takes his final bow. The cause of death is chalked up to either a heart attack or epileptic seizure, although Doc Hooper's examination shows that the undertaker's ribs were powerfully crushed. Suspects are few and far between, but there's no stopping Biggie, with J.R. at her side, as they attempt to bring down the curtain on a crafty killer.

Loaded with quirky Southern charm, knee-slapping humor, and irresistibly eccentric characters, Biggie and the Mangled Mortician will delight old Biggie fans--and make new ones wonder how they ever lived without her.
