"A sweet mystery"
After touring as a gospel singer for years, Alexandra
Walters tries to stay as close to her home in Donlyn,
California as possible while earning money. With some help
from her tenants, Alexandra raises her little girl Jessica,
who starts school for the first time soon. Her former
husband Mike Evans arrives with a new wife and demands that
Alexandra hand over custody of Jessica to him though he
ignored his daughter for four years or else lose her in
court. Alexandra agrees to emcee the Singfest West Gospel Music
Convention being held in town. Her former husband is one
of the performers until someone kills him. Knowing she
has shown public displays of ire towards Mike and his
spouse before, Alexandra realizes she is a prime suspect in
spite of knowing the local law enforcement officers. She
begins her own brand of investigation into the murder of
her ex husband. The second Walters' gospel mystery (see MURDER IN FOUR PART
HARMONY) is an engaging cozy that provides the audience
with an intriguing look at the music industry. The who-
done-it is fun, but it is the characters, especially the
heroine, who makes THE TROUBLE WITH TENORS
worth singing its praises. Harriet Klausner
