The Mattie Winston Mysteries by Beth Amos (writing as Annelise Ryan) follow a former operating room nurse who reinvents herself as a medicolegal death investigator in Sorenson, Wisconsin. When her marriage implodes, Mattie trades the hospital for the morgue and discovers she has a knack for reading crime scenes.

The series runs twelve books from Working Stiff (2009) through Dead Even (2021). Each novel gives Mattie a new case to untangle, and the titles reflect the series’ blend of dark humor and genuine suspense, shifting from the “Stiff” wordplay of the early books to the “Dead” series in later entries.
