A Grand Murder by Kate Lucky

I read A Grand Murder this week by Kate Lucky. It was a first in series for the A Sammy Young Piano Tuner Mystery. This particular mystery reminded me of a Jennifer Stanley (Ellery Adam's) book in that the main character has a job I would expect to be a mostly male field. There was sinister happenings right from the start, a mystery that was quite shocking and an unusual love interest and new bff. This mystery was both familiar and different at the same time.

A dead priest, a mobster, and two Blue Hawaiians… When the state police try to pin the murder of a shady Catholic priest on piano tuner Sammy Young, she works against the clock to clear her name — and find the real killer. With the help of a cake-loving church secretary, a prospective boyfriend, and the town detective, Sammy delves into the reverend’s dark underworld of seedy business dealings and backroom poker games. As word spreads that Sammy is a prime suspect, her carefree career could meet an untimely end thanks to the rumor mill. But with the culprit still on the loose, the case of who killed the popular preacher only uncovers a series of secrets, lies, and dead ends. Will it take more than a prayer and a creepy caretaker to prove that this piano-loving sleuth didn’t finish off the infamous father?
