The Killer in the Choir

Description

At her husband's funeral, Heather Mallet it publicly accused of murder. But did Heather really kill her husband, as many Fethering residents now believe? To get to the heart of the matter, Carole's neighbour Jude joins the new community choir. There she discovers that amidst the clashing egos and petty resentments lurk some decidedly false notes. At least one chorister would appear to be hiding a deadly secret - and it's up to Carole and Jude to unearth the truth.
