Right Church, Wrong Pew — Walter Stewart

By all reports Ernie Struthers got what was coming to him . . . But erstwhile reporter Carlton Withers sure wishes Struthers hadn't turned up dead on his front porch. As the only person, presumably, in town with a motive to kill Struthers, Withers is hard pressed to prove his innocence.

With the evidence stacked against him and mounting by the day, Withers turns to his trusted neighbour, retired police inspector Hanson Eberley, and Hannah Klovack, a newly-arrived news photographer from Toronto, to help clear his name.

Right Church, Wrong Pew is the first Carlton Withers mystery set in the idyllic Kawartha Lakes district of Ontario. Withers and Hannah Klovack return to solve yet another small-town murder in Hole in One.
