About book The Christmas Cantata (2011)

The entire town of St. Germaine, North Carolina was cranky and Christmas was only a few weeks away. I mean, really cranky. And everyone had a theory why. Then the police chief/organist/choir director of the town's Episcopal Church is given a long-lost Christmas cantata recently discovered in the basement of the courthouse. And as the choir begins to rehearse the difficult composition, things begin to change. Not a typical Mark Schweizer book, but a very sweet Christmas story. This book is so different from Schweizer's other books, so gentle and kind, but still funny. I usually laugh out loud several times during one of his book. Although I didn't laugh out loud this time there was still a good amount of humor. Schweizer seems to have strayed into Father Tim land but with more humor. The mystery is so non-violent that it didn't seem like a mystery as a novel. I wish the choir I am in could find such a beautiful piece, but this cantata seems to be like Sir Arthur Sullivan's "Lost Chord."
