After the womanizing choir director at a local church is killed and his house set afire, Detective RJ Franklin is pulled in to investigate. Nothing on this case is as it seems. Not even the victim's identity. With help from his partner on the force, his colorful godmother Mama B, and a beautiful hair salon owner, RJ sets out to find the killer.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Early one morning, St. Joseph, Ind., police detective RJ Franklin, the narrator of this promising series debut from Burns (The Plot Is Murder), is out for a jog when he hears sirens and smells smoke. When he sees flames, he runs toward the source, which turns out to be the house of Thomas Warrendale, the choir director of First Baptist Church, which RJ sometimes attends. Inside, Warrendale is found dead; evidence at the scene suggests arson. The First Baptist pastor, Hilton Hamilton, informs RJ that Warrendale, who was a CPA, was looking into the possible embezzlement of church funds. Ella "Mama B" Bethany, a fellow parishioner, tells RJ that Warrendale was involved with several women from the church, but the real shocker comes when RJ learns that his real name was Tyrone Warren and he was married to a woman in Cleveland. RJ finds plenty of suspects, including the church financial secretary and Ty's attractive widow, along the way to the satisfying ending. Burns nicely portrays the close-knit ties among the members of the vibrant church community.
