Grave Concerns

Rebecca Tope. Thomas Dunne Books, $24.95 (338pp) ISBN 978-0-312-28127-4

When undertaker Drew Slocome (who returns from Rebecca Tope's Dark Undertakings) discovers an extra body in his environmentally conscious Peaceful Repose Cemetery, he jumps at the chance to investigate, because ""mysteries existed to be solved like Everest."" The police only know that the unidentified old woman didn't die of natural causes, and as for what the townsfolk know well, several of them just aren't telling in Grave Concerns.
