no idea that trading in her nurse¿s cap for a deputy coroner¿s badge will take her closer to her own death than she¿d ever imagined¿ Mattie Winston¿s decision to change careers had nothing to do with a mid-life crisis or desire to suddenly spend a lot of time with a bunch of corpses. But catching her surgeon husband David Winston in the act of receiving some very special loving care from R. N. Karen Owenby was enough to make Mattie never want to show her face again in the hospital where they both worked. When her best friend Izzy suggests she¿d be a natural as a deputy coroner, she reluctantly gives it a try. Now, instead of taking patients¿ pulses, she¿s weighing their hearts and livers. But living in Izzy¿s cottage, which just happens to be next door to her ex¿s house, is a little too close for comfort, and Mattie can¿t resist spying on her husband one night. Peeking into a window, Mattie glimpses Karen Owenby and David in the middle of a heated argument¿one that leads to David shaking Karen violently by the shoulders¿ The next day when Izzy takes Mattie on her first homicide call, Mattie¿s shocked to discover the victim is none other than Karen.
