Working Stiff
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
In this hard-boiled mystery series opener, a former nurse becomes a coroner who winds up investigating her cheating ex-husband for murder.
When Mattie Winston catches her husband Dr. David Winston receiving some very special loving care from R.N. Karen Owenby, she quits her job and moves out. Mattie's best friend Izzy offers her a place to stay and suggests she'd be a natural as deputy coroner. Now, instead of taking patients' pulses, Mattie's weighing their hearts and livers.
But Mattie's first homicide call turns out to be for none other than Nurse Karen, and even though she saw her ex in a heated argument with the newly deceased the night before, she refuses to believe David could be a killer. Keeping mum about what she saw, Mattie is also left speechless by the sight of hunky Detective Steve Hurley . . .
From learning the ropes on her new job to sorting out her feelings about her ex and dealing with her growing attraction to Detective Hurley, Mattie's in deep water and in danger of sinking quickly, especially when she places herself dead center in the path of a desperate—yet determined—killer . . .
Praise for USA Today–bestselling author Annelise Ryan and her Mattie Winston series
"Ryan shows growing skill at mixing humor with CSI-style crime."—Publishers Weekly
"The forensic details will interest Patricia Cornwell readers . . .while the often slapstick humor and the blossoming romance between Mattie and Hurley will draw Evanovich fans."—BooklistIf you are having problem transferring a title to your device, please fill out this support form or visit the library so we can help you to use our eBooks and eAudio Books.

July 20, 2009
Ryan, the pseudonym of a Wisconsin emergency nurse, brings her professional expertise to her crisp debut. Mattie Winston, a former OR nurse, leaves her “Dr. Wonderful” husband, David Winston, after she catches him doing the nasty with Karen Owenby, another RN. Mattie quits her job at Mercy Hospital in Sorenson, Wis., to become the deputy of coroner Izzy Rybarceski, her gay best friend. Mattie's first crime scene, a shooting death, is a shocker since, oops, Karen is the victim. As Mattie's sleuthing progresses alongside the official investigation helmed by hunky homicide detective Steve Hurley, the police haul in David as a prime suspect. Mattie wisecracks her way through an increasingly complex plot that includes two more suspicious shootings. Despite a breezy narrative that reflects the influence of TV shows like CSI
and Grey's Anatomy
, the book touches on such serious topics as the problem of AIDs patients and others with inadequate medical insurance.

Mattie Winston catches her surgeon husband having sex with a nurse and loses her composure and her job. Now working as a deputy coroner, she becomes a suspect in the murder of her husband's lover. VERDICT Ryan, the pseudonym for an ER nurse and freelance writer, gets too caught up in Mattie's antics, which might irritate readers looking for a new Kathy Reichs forensic thriller. Yet fans of chick-lit mysteries might enjoy.Copyright 2009 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
