Stiff Penalty-Annelise Ryan

Stiff Penalty (Mattie Winston Mysteries, #6) 

Deputy coroner Mattie Winston knows a thing or two about dead bodies. That's why she's on the case of Derrick Ames, a high school math teacher stabbed to death with a barbecue fork straight to the heart. Sure, she's turned up some motives and a few suspects, but nothing adds up. Especially when the evidence points to Ames's teenage son. Newly pregnant Mattie can't believe it, even as her own long-estranged father may be following her. But one thing's certain, she'd better start figuring things out fast, or a deadly perpetrator could be subtracting two more victims from the population of Sorenson, Wisconsin.

I liked this book but didn't love it. I enjoyed most of the characters. However, I did find that there may have been too much about the main character and that it took away from the actual mystery.
