The Liturgical Mystery

review 1: The 8th in the Hayden Konig mystery series. It is Christmas time in St. Germaine and the town is getting ready for the annual parade. Meanwhile Hayden is at an estate auction and bids on bottles of wine. Bud, the teen wine expert, keeps signaling Hayden to bid higher as another man keeps overbidding Hayden. After Hayden’s successful bid, Bud informs him that in a few years the wine will be worth over a quarter of a million dollars. The stranger who had been bidding on the wine is soon found dead. As usual, Schweizer peppers his hysterical series with Hayden’s horrible attempt at writing a murder mystery in the fashion of his hero, Raymond Chandler. Add a protest, a pregnant waitress, a temporary organist and an obnoxious deacon and you have one heckova fun ... moreread.
review 2: Mark Schweizer continues his delightful Hayden Konig-St. Germaine series with this decent but uneven 8th submission. The murder mystery is rather weaker than usual and ends most unsatisfyingly. Yet, the grab bag of humorous incidents is right up there and the book ends with one of Schweizer's best howlers. The Raymond Chandleresque interweave is even weirder than usual, featuring a predictably slimy "Sophie Slug". less
