Struggling opera singer Paige Marshall needs more income, so she signs up to work with the show choir at Prospect Glen High School outside Chicago. The first line of Chapter One of "Murder for Choir" says it all: "If Dante ever added a tenth circle of hell, this would be it. "Paige is treated as an outsider and even laughed at, especially by teenage Chessie Bock, star of the show, and her boyfriend Eric Metz. Luckily, though, Paige is staying with her Aunt Millie, top Mary Kay salesperson and a delightful soul despite keeping the taxidermied bodies of her dogs on display around her house. Aunt Miliie is outspokenly supportive of her niece Paige, especially when Paige comes upon the body of rival North Shore High School's choir director, Greg Lucas. He has been strangled with a microphone. Who would do such a dreadful thing? Paige does some investigating of her own along with drama teacher Devlyn O'Shea who insists that he is gay. But will they find Greg Lucas' killer?
"Murder for Choir" is a well-written murder mystery filled with totally believable characters who back up the main character Paige. Aunt Millie, Devlyn, outspoken Chessie Bock who knows lots about Greg Lucas and his winning ways, Larry DeWeese who works with the show choir and seems to get himself in predicaments, detective Mike Kaiser, and Killer who is Aunt Millie's standard poodle, make "Murder for Choir" a delight to read from beginning to end. The plot proceeds with twists and turns until Greg Lucas' killer is revealed at the story's conclusion. "Murder for Choir" is a must for reading lists everywhere!
