'Five giant glittering stars! A rollercoaster ride with enough twists and turns to make you dizzy.' 5⭐ reader review, The Coat of Arms Killer
One close-knit choir. Twenty members, singing in perfect harmony - but two won't live to see the next rehearsal.
Welcome to sleepy Kings Richington, where nothing ever happens . . . until local butcher and bass singer Charlie Snell turns up murdered! He's been conked on the head and dumped in the woods.
Detective Jack Dawes is on the case, with an endless list of suspects to interrogate. In life, Snell was a nasty piece of work, with a talent for making enemies wherever he went.
From his jealous wife to the pretty young sopranos he groped - and the ambitious mayoral candidate who happened to 'trip over' his body.
Anyone could be guilty. And anyone could be next.
Just when Jack thinks he's getting somewhere, a second singer turns up dead.
Is the killer picking off choir members one by one - or singing from their own twisted hymn sheet?
It's up to Detective Jack to find out before the body count rises again.
This entertaining and absorbing mystery is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, LJ Ross, J.R. Ellis, Faith Martin, Catherine Moloney and P.F. Ford.
