Clarence Jackson, the obnoxious choir director with a knack for making enemies, meets a shocking demise just as tensions rise in preparation for an upcoming choir contest. When the police uncover foul play-a meticulously tampered breaker box-the suspects multiply. Among them are the embittered young sound man, still grieving his father's tragic accident at Clarence's hands; a mysterious homeless man who appears out of nowhere; and the gruff church custodian who stumbled upon the electrifying scene. Everyone harbors secrets, and no one is above suspicion. Enter Rev. Jane Cartwright, newly appointed assistant minister with a keen eye for human nature, and her unlikely partner, Jasper Reaves, a retired detective from Scotland Yard. As they delve into the tangled relationships and hidden motives of Crooked Run's residents, they uncover startling truths that diverge from the official investigation. With the clock ticking and another life potentially at stake, Jane and Jasper race to unmask the killer before the choir's next performance becomes their final act. Can they unravel the tangled threads of deceit in time, or will the harmony of Crooked Run be forever shattered?
