Secrets Behind the Requiem

We’re thrilled to share that Roberta Mantell’s debut mystery, Angel’s Blood: Murder in the Chorus, has just received a glowing review from BookLife—and it’s one you won’t want to miss.

Set against the backdrop of a prestigious New York choral performance, Angel’s Blood dives deep into the drama of music, murder, and forgotten legacy. Mantell’s storytelling blends the intrigue of a whodunit with the rich textures of classical music history, and BookLife calls it a “smart debut” where “dishy mystery and music history harmonize.”

But the real twist? A 19th-century manuscript, a disputed Requiem, and a trail of secrets that could shake the classical music world to its core.

Curious how Piper Morgan, the arts reporter turned amateur sleuth, untangles it all?Want to know what sets Mantell’s mystery apart from the rest?
