Murder a Cappella de James R and Bailey Callan, Diane
When murder interrupts the International Singing contest of the Sweet Adelines, Tina has to look for the person responsible for killing two of her chorus members. Could the killer be hiding behind the sequins, someone who hates barbershop harmony, or maybe part of a romance that went bad. But the competition goes on and Tina must be able to smile and sing, while checking motives and opportunities. A fun, cozy mystery set during a week of singing.
A Silver Medallion is a gripping, action-packed adventure from talented author James Callan. Crystal Moore is a tough and savvy heroine who knows no fear.
