Angeles Investigations Mysteries #7
Annoyed to Death
Bashed with a bust of Bach.
Brenda Gillette was the most annoying person that everyone who knew her had ever met. She made up arbitrary and absurd rules and regulations then imposed them upon both her husband and her fellow choir members at St. Stephen’s United Methodist Church in Santa Monica. But whose annoyance would have turned to anger? Was it her husband, who spent every day on the golf course to avoid her? Was it the choir director, who battled Brenda for control of the choir? Was it one of the choir members, who’d finally had enough?
Nobody’s talking. But someone knows something. If they won’t talk to the cops, maybe they’ll talk to a couple of new choir members. Angeles Investigations is hired to infiltrate the choir and listen to the gossip about who might have killed Brenda.
The only problem with that? No one at Angeles can read music.
Almost no one.

44 books80 followersI started reading mysteries where a lot of us started - with Nancy Drew. I graduated to Agatha Christie, then P.D. James. My new favorite is Peter Lovesey.
I've had the characters of Jamie Brodie and Pete Ferguson in my head for a long time, but just recently figured out how to tell their stories. Jamie is an academic librarian because I'm an academic librarian and it's the world I know best.
Thanks for reading!

Brenda - we all know a Brenda!!!
Avery and Ryan get their chance to investigate - with mixed results a bit, Ryan particularly having to look carefully at what he wants.
Jamie is ill - the big fires setting off his asthma
Changes afoot for the Angeles crew as more staff and space are needed
I do enjoy this series - and the Jamie Brodie series (a new one to read!)

A member of a local church choir is murdered and as they were the only members of staff who could sing, Ryan and Avery go undercover in the choir to help the police try to solve the murder.
I loved the story. All the gang of Angeles Investigations took part in the story.

This series continues to be my comfort read. Always a solid story even if not overly complicated.
