Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2005

(No. 3 in the Liturgical Mystery series) St. Germaine is usually a quiet little town in the mountains of North Carolina and the inhabitants like it that way. But, as All Saints' Day approaches, Hayden Konig (full-time Chief of Police, part-time Episcopal Choirmaster, and aspiring whodunit novelist) once again finds himself with a bad manuscript, a dead body, and a parish full of characters that only Raymond Chandler could love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest book I've read in ages, April 21, 2006

Peter Sheffield (NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Tenor Wore Tapshoes (Paperback)

I've actually Mark Schweizer's books in order and I think this one is the best so far. This one (like the first two) is an absolutely hilarious send-up of Episcopal church life with a top notch mystery thrown in to boot. I had to read several passages out loud to my wife and could barely finish them I was laughing so hard. Don't miss out on this series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read, July 26, 2006

LLIT "LLIT" (Southeast) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Tenor Wore Tapshoes (Paperback)

I have read all four of the Schweizer books and highly recommend all of them. Although the stories do not build on each other, suggest you read "The Alto Wore Tweed" first. After you pick yourself up off the floor and find time to stop laughing, read the other three. Schweizer is a very entertaining writer.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Tenor Wore Tapshoes (Paperback)

I like Mark Schweizer's liturgical mysteries. His characters are good company, the things he finds funny about religious observance, I also find funny (and I speak as a believer). If what you're looking for is tight plotting, devious and deeply explored characters, or thrilling climaxes, look elsewhere. But if what you want is a pleasant way to spend time in your summer hammock or beach chair, any of the "X Wore Y" books will suit you just fine.
