Bass Wore Scales

This book is just as hilarious as all the others in the series. A good read for escaping into mystery/fiction!

The Bass Wore Scales is just one of a series of books by Mark Schweitzer that can make your sides hurt from laughing. I am an Episcopalian from a small town and these books and their characters really hit home. I would highly recommend these books if you are looking for a laugh and a little mystery (someone is always dying in the church).

My son gave me a copy of "The Alto Wore Tweed" for beach reading. Now that I am home and miles from any beach, I am still laughing as I read Mark Schweizer's other Liturgical Mysteries. The "hero" of Mr. Schwrizer's series is a detective, a musician and a "would be" author who slips his latest writings into the choir folders for Sunday sermon reading. I have introduced "The Alto Wore Tweed" to all ages and find that they join me in the laughter. One friend who is recovering from surgery told me he is used to skimming as he reads, but he found that he can't skim TAWT for fear of missing another Schweizer gem. A "G" rating for an A+ read. Although this review is for the Alto, all of this series is Great Fun.

One of the series written by this author and a must read for folks who know and enjoy church music - vocal or otherwise!
