BOOK: Never trust a dead man by Vande Velde

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Vande Velde, Vivian._Never trust a dead man_,1999
[0-15-201899-9]
The story opens in the middle ages and a young man is accused of
killing another by stabbing him in the back.  He is placed in the
catacombs with the dead man to die.  A witch finds him and gives
his a chance to solve the crime by taking the spirit of the murdered
man and putting it in a bat.  She changes the young man to appear
as a girl from the town and they go back to solve the crime.  The
story is essentially a murder mystery with the reader going along
with this unlikely pair as they try to solve the crime.  It is full of
humor.  This is a great 194 page book and will be very popular but
you must be aware of the essential place that witchcraft plays in
the story -- if that is a problem in your local situation.
