Rehearsing for Murder, apa
Peckover Joins the Choir, is the seventh in the Inspector Peckover series by Michael Kenyon.
Endeavour Press seem to be doing new titles for most/all of this series - I wonder if somehow the titles were "owned" in a different way than the texts, or if they just think the new titles will be better marketing. I think I would be more likely to be intrigued by
Peckover Joins the Choir, which at least seems as if it could set up some pretty amusing situations, rather than by the blander-sounding, at least to me,
Rehearsal for Murder, but that's JMTCW.
In any case,
Rehearsing is a US Kindle countdown deal at $0.99 for about 6 1/2 more days. We've now had most of this series as Countdown deals, IMS...

“A very valuable addition to the classic British detective genre” – The New York Times
A spate of high-value art thefts is terrorising Europe…
For every article that has gone missing, the Sealeigh choir – a travelling choir from a small village on the Ken coast – have held a concert nearby.
Chief Inspector Henry Peckover and Detective Constable Jason Twitty are sent to become the choir’s newest recruits as part of an undercover investigation, but playing the part of professional singers and avoiding suspicion is no easy task.
The routine of rehearsals and choir gossip is challenging and Peckover struggles to manage with Twitty’s flamboyant nature, fearing he will scupper the investigation.
The entire choir is under suspicion and the two policemen cannot afford to become distracted.
A ruthless criminal is in close proximity, concealing treasured art and they must be discovered before someone realises that Peckover and Twitty are not really who they claim to be…
By the time the choir arrives in Ghent for their next concert, Peckover has discovered tantalizing information about several of its members.
The investigation is now an international operation and together with French Sergeant Pépin and Flemish Inspector Spaak, Peckover must work on the preliminary report from Scotland Yard to close the case.
But before they discover the thief, the body of one of the choir members is found in the cathedral and Peckover and Twitty find themselves heading up a murder enquiry...
Can they find the culprit before another body is discovered?
Rehearsing for Death is the latest Inspector Peckover mystery, following on from No Mercy, Cradling Death, The Man At The Wheel and Zigzag.
