Synopsis

(No. 5 in the Liturgical Mystery series) For Detective Hayden Konig, things are going well. He enjoys his two jobs, he’s independently wealthy, his girlfriend has agreed not to marry him, and no one has been killed in St. Germaine since Palm Sunday.

In spite of all this success, Hayden has one more dream to realize—he longs to be a writer. As the organist and choir director of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, he takes every opportunity to inflict his attempts at hard-boiled, musical detective stories on the choir, and, to boost his credibility, he’s even purchased Raymond Chandler’s actual typewriter. It doesn’t help.

Summers in North Carolina are usually peaceful, but when Kokomo, the world-famous signing gorilla, comes to town, suddenly there’s a dead body in the church and all the evidence points to the great ape. Can Hayden figure out the mystery in time to save Kokomo? (Well...of course he can...)

Review:

A heartwarming adventure...well, maybe not exactly heart-warming, but pretty good. Hmm...that may be overstating it. I'd say that you could certainly read it if you were stuck in a doctor's waiting room for a few hours. I mean, if you didn't have an old People magazine or anything. --Dr. Karen Dougherty, Pediatrician
