Sorenson, Wisconsin’s deputy coroner Mattie Winston is back on the job. . .in a nursing home examining the body of Bernie Chase–the now former president of the Twilight Home’s board of directors–who is covered in a powder used to turn liquids to solids. The home’s residents are certain Bernie was offing the patients who cost him too much. . .and the patient that found him can’t remember a thing.
Between her ongoing tug of war with Detective Hurley, fulfilling her new job requirement of seeing a shrink, and wrangling with the Twilight Home’s board of directors, Mattie’s got her scrubbed hands full. She’ll need all of her outside-the-box forensic skills to crack a case that’s turning out to be stranger–and more dangerous–than anything she’s seen before!

Sorry to say that I have not read any of the books in this series, mainly due to the fact that I had not heard about it, but that all changed with this blog by Dru today. I am sure that I read something by Beth but now can add this series to my list of books to order very soon. Would love to win Board Stiff obviously. Thank you for the information and the book offered.
