Editorial Reviews

With Nine Expensive Funerals, Hayden Smith has written a stunning page-turner of a murder mystery. Not only is this novel tightly and expertly plotted, but it is also rife with literary references that are pleasant to the ear. ... Unlike almost any thriller I've read, Smith gets us to fall in love with his characters.

Charlie W. Brice - Poet

Smith's use of a clean narrative style will sweep you through a couple's surprising journey.

Bear River Review, Monica Rico - Editor-in-Chief

I enjoyed the book very much. Couldn't put it down, powered through it in a day and a half. So, naturally you would have to say it held my interest. I usually like protagonists to have flaws which must be overcome to get a satisfactory conclusion. I think Tom fits the bill here.

Philip Smith

Two thumbs up for Hayden's new political murder mystery story. Set in early 1960s Muskegon, MI, the story weaves a suspenseful tale of greed and deceit by a powerful group of business owners dead-set against well-intentioned and dedicated community leaders....A number of twists, turns and surprises make this a page-turner.

Larry Zadonick

I bought the book, read it, and loved it - to the extent that I ignored my dog, the phone calls, any chores that needed doing, and about everything else....The good guys were people of honor and integrity, the "bad guys" appropriately evil and amoral.
