Publisher Description
Life and death are not so black and white at the city morgue in Cologne, Germany. There, Dr. Martin Gänsewein spends his days autopsying dead bodies—and conversing with a ghost named Pascha. They are an odd couple, to be sure: a shy, scrupulous forensic pathologist and a gregarious former car thief whose murder Martin reluctantly helped solve in Morgue Drawer Four.
As the second installment of Jutta Profijt’s popular series opens, a recently convalesced Martin returns to work anxious for a little peace and quiet and hoping that Pascha has finally gone into the light. Not only is the doctor out of luck, but the morgue soon welcomes Marlene, the spirit of a nun killed in the fire that ravaged her medieval convent and home.
Though disappointed that his new sidekick isn’t a leggy blonde, Pascha empathizes with the recently deceased holy sister—and suspects the fire that claimed her life was no accident. The ghosts are determined to uncover the truth, but they can’t do it without Martin’s help. Together with Martin’s girlfriend Birgit, the trio embarks upon a madcap (and frequently hilarious) adventure that will enchant readers from beginning to end.

"This is the second book featuring the good-hearted, but very dead, car thief named Pascha. He is still haunting the hapless pathologist at the hospital and in this adventure is joined by the spirit of a murdered nun. This is a fun read read if you are looking for simething light."

" I read Morgue Drawer Four and was disappointed, but decided to give it annother go . It just didnt work for me. I thought the plot was weak and had to work hard to finish it. I liked the ideas in the book but it just didnt hit the spot for me I am sorry to say. "

" This was definitely an amusing read but I think the device of the wandering spirit helping to solve crimes is starting to wear a bit thin. It was definitely laugh out loud in several places and I actually do like most of the characters but I'm not sure I would read a third in this series. "

" Really good, enjoyed the second in this series. First of all, the concept is unique, the trials and tribulations of being "in-between" with only one person who can hear you is often funny. Second, the mystery is also keeps one guessing quite a way into the book. "

" This is the second in a series and I liked it but not as much as the first. I think that is only because I knew what was going on in this book having read the first. The first was much funnier.But this is a quick read and still worth the time. Not sure how things can improve in book 3. "
