Life and death are not so black and white at the city morgue in Cologne, Germany. There, Dr. Martin G nsewein spends his days autopsying dead bodies--and conversing with a ghost named Pascha. They are an odd couple, to be sure: a shy, scrupulous forensic pathologist and a gregarious former car thief whose murder Martin reluctantly helped solve in Morgue Drawer Four. As the second installment of Jutta Profijt's popular series opens, a recently convalesced Martin returns to work anxious for a little peace and quiet and hoping that Pascha has finally gone into the light. Not only is the doctor out of luck, but the morgue soon welcomes Marlene, the spirit of a nun killed in the fire that ravaged her medieval convent and home. Though disappointed that his new sidekick isn't a leggy blonde, Pascha empathizes with the recently deceased holy sister--and suspects the fire that claimed her life was no accident. The ghosts are determined to uncover the truth, but they can't do it without Martin's help. Together with Martin's girlfriend Birgit, the trio embarks upon a madcap (and frequently hilarious) adventure that will enchant readers from beginning to end.… (plus d'informations)

Morgue Drawer Next Door (Pascha #2) by Jutta Profijt continues the craziness with the autopsy doctor and the ghost! In this book, Pasha gets Martin involved in finding out what happened when a nun died in a fire at the convent. The reason Pasha knows there was foul play because he can see and talk to the dead nun. This book gets really exciting. The nuns have a secret. Someone is trying to scare the nuns. Martin's boss thinks he is going crazy and there is tons of snarky comments to giggle about from Pasha! Great fun! ( )

Pascha is a spirit who for some reason has not "gone to the light" but remains here in the earthly realm. We first met him when he discovered that the medical examiner, Martin, who was performing his autopsy could hear and speak to him. Martin does not necessarily enjoy this privilege. Together, they were able to solve Pascha's murder, although it almost cost Martin his life.

Pascha was in his early twenties when he was killed, he was a car thief. His humor is juvenile and crude at times, but in this story his character is growing up a bit. It interests me to see where the author is taking the rest of the series.

Now Pascha meets another soul who has not moved on. Marlene, a nun who was murdered. Together they work to solve her murder. I enjoyed this story, it is light and fun. Perhaps not altogether consistent, it still makes for a quick and pleasant read, if you don't mind a bit of autopsy humor and descriptions. ( )

Der erste Teil hat mir eindeutig viel besser gefallen. Der Krimi ist nicht schlecht geschrieben, aber der Hauptcharakter fängt an zu nerven.

This book follows the further adventures of a dead car thief and the forensic pathologist who want to get rid of this annoying, intrusive ghost.
There's another murder to investigate - if Pasha can just get his friend to get involved. Pasha even has a fellow ghost to interact with. It's a pity she's a plain, pious nun.
The interactions between the characters and Pasha's observations on life make this a light entertaining read--perhaps not as good as the first book, but still fun. ( )

This was a very enjoyable sequel to read!

I was a little suprised as some of the reviews expressing the opinion that this one wasn't as good as the first. A couple of points to consider about that:

First, most of the backstory about both Martin and Pascha was covered in the first book. This story picks up immediately after the end of the first.

Secondly, this book makes it clear that Pascha is the protagonist in this series, not Martin. (In the first book, it seemed 50-50.) I can see how that could be disappointing for some people if they expected the opposite. The next one sounds like it may feature Martin more....

Third, the main setting for this story is (of necessity from the ending of the Morgue Drawer Four) somewhat different.

Like the first book, this is beautifully translated by Erik J. Macki! I am looking forward to the next in the series, Morgue Drawer for Rent! ( )
