In book 3 of the Frankie Shep Suspense Novellas, a member of the church choir dies during rehearsal, and the apparent murder weapon—a blowgun—implicates the man Frankie loves. She’s shocked to discover Quint was a champion at the sport before he accepted the senior pastor role at the church. And he’s refusing to talk about his fate.

Her investigation reveals that Quint isn’t the only person with the skill to hit a woman’s carotid artery while she’s singing a high note, and Frankie is convinced someone is framing Quint. The closer she gets to proving it, the more she faces a stalker’s deadly wrath.

Can Frankie save herself and the man she loves from becoming the next victims?

My Thoughts

This is a short little book but boy does it pack a lot in it. Suspense is all over this book with its twists and turns. Keeps you guessing the whole time. The characters are written very well and are likable which keeps you reading. Seriously kept me at the edge of my seat at times. You will definitely enjoy this one if you are a lover of mysteries and suspenseful stories.

This was my first by this author and it definitely will not be my last. I look forward to more of her books. Oh and this one I read in an afternoon because I just needed to know what happened!

My Rating: 4 Stars/Really enjoyed it!

More from Karen

Since Choir Loft Murder is the third book in the Frankie Shep Suspense Novellas series, I wanted to show how Frankie has grown through the series—from broken woman who is angry at God for allowing the deaths of family into a strong and happy woman who relies on God to help her through an unusually tough life.

She has shown her grit in all three novels in the series, and this one shows how she has grown through the adversity life has thrown at her.

In writing Choir Loft Murder, I wanted to show that ordinary people usually are stronger and more resilient than they know.
