Created by Rick Dewhurst
Her Sunday Detective Agency in Vancouver, British Columbia is strictly a one-woman show, occupying a small cluttered office. Jane’s currenty “between” secretaries, and things aren’t going exactly to plan. As she ruefully admits, “I’d stopping whining about my career choice long ago.”
But regrets don’t pay the bills, so she’s more than willing to listen when pastor, Norman Parks, wants to hire Jane, a member of the church, to get the goods on his father-in-law, the head pastor in the biggest congregation in town in The Good Book Club (2011). The ambitious if not particularly likable Norman suspects Senior Paster Jessop of various sexual shenanigans.
Suffice it to say that big bucks mega-churches come in for a drubbing, even though as was billed as a “Christian” mystery. Which prompted one Amazon reviewer, Steve Taylor, to assure us that “Biblically it’s a strong, solid story. Christians and unbelievers will be entertained, challenged and offended. Rick does not paint a good picture of the church but sadly the picture is true.”
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Canadian author Rick Dewhurst, the creator of both Jane and Christian private eye Joe LaFlam, isn’t knocking Christianity in his books, by the way. He’s actually been a pastor for years at the City Gate Church in Duncan, British Columbia, so he knows that of which he speaks. Before that, he worked a variety of jobs, including home improvements salesman, bartender, fish-boat deckhand, and taxi driver, before earning his B.A. in English literature from the University of Victoria, with training in journalism.
