annarella 's review for:

The Killer in the Choir by Simon Brett
5.0

An excellent mystery, darker than the usual cozy.
I read it as fast as could because it's gripping and entertaining. I made me laugh and it made me think.
I love Carol and Jude and I love the quirky cast of characters, well written and fleshed out.
There's a lot of humour in this book and there're moments when it make you think.
I appreciated the empathy toward the victims and how the author describe an abuse without too many details, just an overview that makes you understand the drama.
The mystery is great, full of twists and turns, and the ending came unexpected.
It's the second book I read it this series and I think it can be read as a standalone.
I look forward to reading the next instalment in this series.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Severn House and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
