Unholy Lies — Sandra Bretting

This heartfelt mystery offers readers an unforgettable journey through small-town Texas and everything that entails. When a beautiful young church worker disappears from the rural town of Enterprise, Texas, local newspaper reporter Kelsey Garrett latches onto the story. Used to covering 4-H fairs, booster-club bakeoffs and the Miss Fancy Pecans pageant, Kelsey knows this story could propel her from the bowels of the Enterprise Country Caller to the shoulders of a major Texas daily. Her priorities change, though, when she becomes involved with one of the suspects and develops friendships in the rural community. Suspects include a fallen pastor on the path to redemption; his wife, an eccentric woman with her own predilections; and a church secretary fiercely protective of her pastor. Each of the suspects is eliminated until only the good reverend and Kelsey's newfound love interest remain.
