Dru’s Short Musing:
When two members of the choir die at a rehearsal and one of them is a close friend, the team is on the hunt for a killer.
This story blends friendship and family drama into one cohesive whodunit that I could not put down, quickly becoming a page-turner. When another member is harmed, outside antagonist seems to play a part in what is going on. The author did a great job in staging this mystery with a multi-plot storyline, where the suspects are hiding in plain sight and clues and motives uncovered rears its ugly head as each puzzle piece when completed will reveal the person responsible. The pacing was on par with how well this story was being told and when I thought I had a handle of who was doing what to whom, the author changed direction with strategically placed twists that enhanced my reading pleasure. Meg and her friends are a hoot and I like their diversity of who they are, and I especially enjoy their banter. Overall, this was an enjoyable read, and I hope there are more adventures with Meg, Barbara, Edna, Liz, and Stefan.

Trouble is brewing at Whitman’s Port Choral Society as choir members drop dead and Detective Jonathan Storm raises more questions than answers in his investigation. When Stefan, the choir’s soloist, gets weaker by the day, Meg and her friends take matters into their own hands. And if a murder investigation was not enough to elevate anyone’s blood pressure, Meg finds herself in danger tied to her past that she’s struggling to understand. Will Meg and her friends stop the killer before Stefan becomes the next victim-and before Meg’s past catches up with her? Join these golden-age sleuths as they follow the clues, protect their own, and prove that friendship is the strongest weapon against a killer.
