Publisher Description

Coroner is the perfect job for Dr. Martin Gänsewein, who spends his days in peace and quiet autopsying dead bodies for the city of Cologne. Shy, but scrupulous, Martin appreciates his taciturn clients—until the day one of them starts talking to him. It seems the ghost of a recently deceased (and surprisingly chatty) small-time car thief named Pascha is lingering near his lifeless body in drawer number four of Martin’s morgue. He remains for one reason: his “accidental” death was, in fact, murder. Pascha is furious his case will go unsolved—to say nothing of his body’s dissection upon Martin’s autopsy table. But since Martin is the only person Pascha can communicate with, the ghost settles in with the good pathologist, determined to bring the truth of his death to light. Now Martin’s staid life is rudely upended as he finds himself navigating Cologne’s red-light district and the dark world of German car smuggling. Unless Pascha can come up with a plan—and fast—Martin will soon be joining him in the spirit world. Witty and unexpected, Morgue Drawer Four introduces a memorable (and reluctant) detective unlike any other in fiction today.

Morgue Drawer Four
was shortlisted for Germany’s 2010 Friedrich Glauser Prize for best crime novel.

"You know a book will be a little different when the narrator is dead but it really worked in this case. The relationship that developed between the medical examiner and the spirit of a recently deceased person was fun to follow."

    " This book started with such promise and with an odd, but engaging main character. Then it quickly became a slow moving grind to the conclusion. I finished it, which means I must have appreciated it to some extent, but It's not going on to my recommended reading list. Great start......lost steam and character development. "

    " I idly started reading the first few pages and now, a few hours later, I've finished the book; I just kept reading to find out what happened next. It isn't great, but it's pretty decent, and Martin is an especially nice character. Apparently this was nominated for a German mystery award, too. "

    " I really liked the book except for the end. There wast one. I actually thought there was a problem with my kindle since it felt like the book ended in mid thought. If it had a real honest to goodness ending, I would have given it four stars. "

    " The first few chapters were quite promising. Interesting subject matter and quite a good style of writing. However the whole thing quickly lost it's way. I finished the book but was disappointed with the end result. I wont be buying the next one. "

    " I thought the story was funny and had some good twists. I have a hard time believing that references to sexual activity have to be included when they have nothing to do with the storyline or the outcome. I thought Pascha was a pervert and a pig. "
