When Murder Gilds the Skies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991151306)

A shocking "accident" during choir rehearsal shatters the calm of Crooked Run. When the church's breaker box is found deliberately tampered with, the small town's beloved choir is suddenly at the center of a murder investigation. Whispers swirl around a grieving young sound tech, a mysterious newcomer with no clear past, and a weary custodian who discovered the scene-but in a place where everyone knows everyone, secrets run deeper than they look.

Rev. Jane Cartwright isn't a detective, but she knows when something doesn't add up. With tensions rising before the big choir contest, Jane teams up with Jasper Reaves, a retired Scotland Yard investigator hoping for a quieter life in the Shenandoah Valley. Together, they unravel hidden grudges, strained relationships, and long-buried fears that the official investigation seems determined to overlook.

As another performance approaches, danger creeps closer to the choir loft. If Jane and Jasper can't uncover the truth in time, the killer may strike again-turning Crooked Run's music festival into a final, deadly act. Perfect for fans of small-town cozy mysteries, amateur sleuth duos, and church-choir whodunits with warmth, charm, and just the right amount of suspense.
