Loose LIPS: A Deweyville Church Secretary Novel (The Deweyville Church Secretary) (Volume 2)

What do the Unabomber, Little Red Riding Hood, and country club divas have in common? They are all out to get the church secretary. Not only are the divas and the media bent on ruining Jackie McGrath’s reputation by spreading gossip, but the old fogey members of the First United Methodist Church of Deweyville are on a mission to get the secretary fired. Contending with the daily theatrics of a kooky congregation, a wedding where cars end up in the sanctuary, a funeral with exotic dancers in attendance, and baby baptisms where the Angel of God descends from the ceiling, Jackie obsesses about the other shoe dropping. Paranoia becomes reality when someone attacks her—twice. Our heroine, a thrice divorced woman with a teenage son and four jobs, has a BFF with a yen for Burberry and sleuthing, a boyfriend with a disappearing act, and a nose for trouble. No wonder the hunky chief of police assigns her a body guard 24/7. When Jackie learns a friend has died as the result of drowning, she doesn’t buy the report of suicide. As well as the assaults on her own life, she sets out to solve the mystery with the help of her sidekick Gerié, the flamboyant church organist. Posing as fake French detectives, Jackie and Gerié commit breaking and entering crimes, go undercover to obtain information from Dr. Death, lead the police on a high speed chase in a yellow Caddy, and wind up in a drug sting. As if her life isn’t crazy enough, Jackie decides to star in a play, and ends up being shrink wrapped by a bodysuit. In this second henlit novel of THE DEWEYVILLE CHURCH SECRETARY series, Jackie deals with the usual colorful suspects. Is Gospel Bob of Religion Within Reach on the up-and-up or is he a drug dealer? Where does love interest Rusty Jackson, the Boilerman, go when he disappears? Why does John the Baptist morph into the pope? And she encounters a host of new zany personalities: the Flavors of the Deweyville Delight, Dr. Death, the Bug Lady, and Dearie Dombrowski. With cozy mysteries thrown into the hilarious mix of slightly irreverent and a tad naughty, LOOSE LIPS is diva drama and slapstick adventure.
