Ministry Can Be Murder

Sam and Dee Lord accepted the call to minister to the First Church of Millville hoping for a peaceful segue into retirement. That dream was shattered when Mattie, the church custodian, discovered a corpse in the sanctuary. Dee finds a Chinese coin that appears to be a piece of the puzzle, and the police chief discovers a link between the minister’s wife and the victim. Sam is arrested. His twin appears on the scene, and a savant solves the murder of not one but two mysteries.

Sam and Dee Lord minister to First Church in Millville. Dee and Mattie Holcomb, her friend and partner in crime, solved the mystery of a man dying in the sanctuary. Since then, life has taken a turn when Sam had a heart attack. While in the hospital, the interim minister is murdered as he gave the morning liturgy.

Mason and Katie set the date, but the maid of honor comes up missing. A dead body at the airport takes wedding planning to an entirely new level. Mason, his twin, Sam, and Dee follow the clues, which lead to Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, human trafficking, and the underbelly of society.
