An unexpected windfall had greedy church choir members seeing green, taking sides and preparing for battle. Their weapon of choice? Practical jokes. And Emma McCall wanted no part of it...until a VW Bug appeared on her bed-and-breakfast's porch. The combatants' pranks were escalating, and only innkeeper Emma seemed to be taking them seriously.

But before the pretty amateur could dust for fingerprints, an unexpected ally appeared: Glory's deputy police chief, Rafe Neilson. So when the antics became no laughing matter, the courageous single dad couldn't let impetuous Emma fight the pranksters alone....

This review is from: Glory Be! (Cozy Mystery) (Kindle Edition)

Anyone that has belonged in a church choir for any length will recognized the characters in this book. The authors really nailed it. It is a cozy mystery/romance, and not too preachy. I can't wait to read the next one.
