Two new books in Mark Schweizer’s popular Liturgical Mystery novel series have arrived at First Church Library.

For those unfamiliar with the series, here’s a brief recap.  The setting is tiny St. Germaine, North Carolina, where life is good and Hayden Konig is Sheriff.  Sheriff Konig is also the organist (one of the best ivory jockeys in the county) of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church and a wannabe crime writer despite what has been described as a conspicuous lack of talent.  Samples of his prose are included so you can judge for yourself.  Church politics, a little crime, and more than a few crazy characters make for hilarious reading.

If you’re in the mood for some light summer reading, First Church Library now has “The Countertenor Wore Garlic” and “Christmas Cantata” available for checkout.  The books can be found in the New Titles section.  Look for his earlier novels in the series on the Fiction shelves.
