(No. 2 in the Liturgical Mystery series) St. Germaine's police chief, Hayden Konig, returns in this hilarious sequel to THE ALTO WORE TWEED. He's beginning to write his second Chandler-style... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Be prepared to laugh out loud again. Don't miss THE HORRORS OF ALL HORRORS MOST DISASTRIOUS OF ALL CHILDREN'S SERMONS. Wait till you get to the CLOWN COMMUNION! To put it bluntly Mark's at it again. Will anything about church and worship ever be safe from this MASTER COMEDIAN'S barbed wit. I eagerly await each new episode of this man's skill of making satiric ground meat of all SACRED COWS!
Truth is stranger, but fiction is funnier

Of Mr. Sweizer's 3 books, this is the best. The "real" characters are wonderful (I have MET these people!) and the "fictional" characters are easier to follow than in The Tenor Wore Tapshoes. If the other two are "giggle books," this one is a "guffaw" edition. They were all great and I can't wait to see what the soprano wears!
Episcopal Choristers who love to laugh, read this book!

Anyone who's familiar with Episcopal liturgy will laugh at loud at this book...particularly choristers with a sense of humor. If your choir is as much fun as mine, you'll love to share passages of the book with others who rewrite hymn lyrics for jollies or get a chuckle out of the stereotypical "stiffness" of the church and its rituals. The Baritone Wore Tweed is a laugh a minute...and a good mystery, to boot! Enjoy!
He's done it again!

Mark Schweizer has to win an award someday. I don't what the award might be except he has left me in stitches again. "The Baritone Wore Chiffon" is an even more enraptured, wonderful take on his first book, "The Alto Wore Tweed". How he can make innocent fun of a character with leprosy might have you slapping your leg with laughter...except that the character might not have a leg. I only wish the author could somehow engage George Bush in his next book....I'd buy it in a minute!!
