Cozy mystery by Chicago-area author. I guessed who did it halfway through, but still it was enjoyable.

Starts off a bit slow, but then the main character, an opera singer working as a high school music teacher, starts to grow on me and the story takes off. There is already a new book in this series and I hope to read it as well.

Not a fan of Paige she's a Super Busy Body. For someone who just got the job and wasn't really interested in it she really went all out for that kid she doesn't know. I figured out who the killer was half was through the book. Sighs.... another lover triangle these things are getting old.

this book was pretty enjoyable. though a thing i did not like was when the main character kept fawning over a character she thought was gay like… the “omg hes so hot… but hes gay!” thing was annoying, especially since it was reiterated every time devlyn and paige interacted. i know the author was trying to set up that ending where hes not even gay but it was a hassle to read through tbh. other than that it was a fun little read!

I wasn't expecting much from a book about show choirs, but this didn't have the high schoolers all whiney and annoying like they often are in mysteries. And it was funny.

First in a series and a new to me author, this A Glee Club Mystery seems like a Glee TV show spin-off. Paige Marshall is an aspiring Opera singer who has landed home between professional gigs and is currently teaching a high school competitive show choir. The atmosphere is cutthroat among the teaching staff and the students, eventually the pressure blows and someone ends up dead. Paige discovers the body and puts herself squarely in the sights of a killer. Fans of the TV show will pro

I thought this was a fun start to a cozy mystery series. Different setting than I've seen before and the mystery kept me guessing.

Paige Marshall has taken a job as a Glee Club Coach at Prospect Glen High School as she waits for the next big break to come along in her opera career. She thought professional auditions were rough but she quickly learns how cutthroat competition is for high school show choirs. These students expect to win a championship and don't believe Paige is the right coach for the job.
Finding a rival coach dead does not help matters. Then one of her students becomes the prime suspect in the investigation. Paige decides she must do everything she can to help clear his name even if it means never hitting a high note again.

What a musical debut! This story has the perfect tempo and deserves a standing ovation.
Like Glee, you will love this book!
Like cozy mysteries, you won't be able to put this one down!
Hate your choir director, this is the book for you!
You can tell the author is very familiar with this subject matter, it just sings with that personal touch.
Joelle Charbonneau has created a great cast of characters in a high school setting which as anyone knows is always full of drama. Paige has her hands full not only with the show choir kids, but her boss Larry, the Costume Designer Felicia, Detective Mike Kaiser, and her Aunt Millie too. Aunt Millie's antics will have you laughing until you are crying. Who knew one little cosmetics party could get so out of hand? Paige is also trying to make friends with her aunt's standard poodle that she calls "Killer". She has to get him to like her if she ever expects to eat again. Good thing she is a very determined woman. It will take more than a dead body and a dog poised to attack to knock her out of the spotlight.
I am hoping Murder for Choir (A Glee Club Mystery) is the prelude to many more performances for Paige Marshall and her show choir. I have fallen hard for this cast and definitely demand an ENCORE!!
