Title: Not as smart as he thinks he is
Product review: What a disappointment. This book is a jumbled mess of misogyny, narcissism, and bad writing. The detective is one of those arrogant jackasses who believes he's the smartest person in the room AND irresistible to women. Mr. Schweizer enjoys giving us lots of insider detail about church music and the Episcopal church (and most of those details he gets right) but he doesn't craft a very good mystery. The villain is a cartoon character who is loathsome from her first appearance (I kept hoping there would be some kind of interesting twist at the end, but Schweizer isn't that talented or imaginative)and supporting characters in the mystery are simply unbelievable. The detective ends up being judge, jury AND ecclesiastical court - nothing so mundane for him as actually building a case...I won't buy another one.
