Dead Body Language - Softcover
Thirty-seven year old journalist, Connor Westphal, has relocated from San Francisco to Flat Skunk, a mining-turned-tourist town in the foothills of the Sierras, to start up her own weekly paper. Suddenly, dead bodies begin turning up in the most unusual places, setting Connor on a hunt for a killer. You might say Connor has a sixth sense when it comes to investigating...but she only has four of the usual five senses. Connor Westphal is deaf. But being hearing impaired doesn't stop Connor from pursuing the murderer. Without sound to distract her, she attends to subtleties that others overlook and ultimately unravels the mystery.

San Francisco Chronicle Review
Penny Warner's DEAD BODY LANGUAGE features unconventional female sleuth Connor Westphal . . . What raises the book above the ordinary is its heroine, deaf since an attack of meningitis when she was four. Connor's disability doesn't keep her down one bit. From Connor we learn about lip reading, sign language grammar and the different writing styles used on the TTY. The novel is enlivened by some nice twists, an unexpected villain, a harrowing mortuary scene, its Gold Country locale and fascinating perspective on a little known subculture.
