If you simply want to read all of the Tory Bauer mysteries and are not a serious collector, read the readily available "Funeral Food" which is the same story, renamed and published for mass market by Avon.

The Missionary Position is smarter and funnier then Funeral Food. The folks at Avon cut all the laugh out loud adult humor, and Funeral Food is a blander version. Taylor's voice is more original and interesting in this book where she is not being edited by the PC police.

This isn't really a review. I just wanted to say that, about 19 years ago, I was working for a vanity press in Kenova, West Virginia, Aegina Press, typing manuscripts. This book was the BEST novel that ever came across my desk, and I read every word of it as I typed it. I am very glad to see that the writer, Kathleen Taylor, went on to become a published author, and had to chime in about it. Especially since I was "witnessed to" by two Mormon Missionaries today as I was walking a trail near my house. I totally forgot about having typed this book until it was too late to tell them. Of course, since they were Mormon missionaries themselves, maybe books about young men in their position getting murdered wouldn't have been the best topic of conversation on first meeting them, alone, on a deserted walking trail.
