Casket For Sale (Only Used Once) is the third book in Jeff Strand's Andrew Mayhem series, in which he mixes horror and comedy.

In an effort to become a more responsible person and a better father, the main character, Andrew Mayhem decides never to accept any more strange jobs from strange women in coffee shops, because the results are usually catastrophic. After refusing such an offer, he goes for a camping trip with his family and two friends. Then he decides not to ignore the warning of an old man, and they find themselves face to face with a group of psychopathic killers. They have no other option than to run for their lives and to fight if needed.

I just LOVE cheeky girls. But I also learned why they can be in short supply. They get killed off so fast being so curious! But then, anyone who cooks award-winning chili is not about to be a bland personality, right? Still, for the poor girl to be knocked out and dragged to the future and then have a crew trying to keep her hidden among other things from the rest of the ship. All because, well, apparently in the future, as shown in Walking On the Moon no one really knows how to write cooking programs and they all get nutritional glop. All together now: Ewwwwwww.

In 50 Ways to Kill Your Lover, T.K. Sheils takes the traditional 'cozy' with its amateur 'tec, closed environment and limited range of suspects, to sea. The unlucky ship Hephaestus, full of Canadians, leaves Cozumel, Mexico, on a Caribbean cruise. A corpse, a stowaway and some cruise contest winners who can't remember entering any contest are aboard.

Stowaway Hunter Knox, Canadian actor and petty con man, goes to the exercise area of the ship to replenish his wardrobe from the lockers. He left Cozumel quickly, wearing a port official’s uniform over a pair of shorts and shirt. His brown shoes were not mates. [Forget the murder. Mystery 1: Why does anyone, even one leaving Cozumel quickly, have on mis-mated shoes?] While in the locker room, he finds a pair of sandals and talks to an elderly, confused naked man who says he has been poisoned.
