When Jude joins the Fethering community choir, she discovers that at least one of her fellow choristers is hiding a deadly secretBook Synopsis
At her husband's funeral, Heather Mallet is publicly accused of murder. But did Heather really kill her husband, as many Fethering residents now believe?
To get to the heart of the matter, Carole's neighbor Jude joins the new community choir. There she discovers that amidst the clashing egos and petty resentments lurk some decidedly false notes. At least one chorister would appear to be hiding a deadly secret--and it's up to Carole and Jude to unearth the truth.
