About this ebook

Enjoy this Contemporary Small Town Sleuthing Couple Murder Mystery


Gina Sprague is a popular member of Saint Clare’s Carlo Acutis Society. She’s bright, funny, kind, generous, and takes her faith seriously.


She’s also been very unlucky in love . . .


Out of desperation, she joins a dating app for Catholic young men and women. There, after years of looking, she finds her Prince Charming.


Malcolm Whittaker. He’s a successful man in his early thirties. Bright, handsome, and takes his faith seriously.


A match made in heaven . . . with a little help from cyberspace. They get engaged, and even meet with Father Tom about preparing for their marriage.


Then, Gina’s found brutally murdered. What’s worse, Malcolm finds his fiance’s body. He’s grief stricken, almost unconsolable, but the Acutis Society–in fact, the entire community–rallies around to support him. Because he was miles away at the time she was murdered, Helen and Dan quickly clear him as a suspect.


But Gladys is convinced Malcolm did it, and begins her own investigation. Unfortunately, the new mom’s been struggling caring for the triplets, and everyone thinks she’s suffering from delusions brought on by severe postpartum depression.


Everyone, that is, except Father Tom . . . 


The Murdered Match is the sixteenth novel in The Mercy and Justice Mysteries, a contemporary small town mystery series. The series is a sequel to The Father Tom Mysteries that began with The Penitent Priest and includes the same cast of characters. It features Father Tom Greer, a Catholic Priest who is also an amateur sleuth in the tradition of Father Brown, and his wife Helen Greer, female Chief of Police and detective in the tradition of Kinsey Millhone.

I am a huge fan of this series and look forward to each new installment. The main characters begin to feel like people you know, and adding new characters enhances the "neighborhood." The Murdered Match storyline comes straight from real life and keeps you in suspense until the end. You can always count on Father Tom and Helen Greer to get to the bottom of it. I love how the authors bring their Catholic faith into the series and look forward to each new installment. I highly recommend this book.
