See all formats and editions

Armed with snacks and voted 'Most Likely to Succeed' by his fly-by-night private investigator school, Reverend Richard Burgess has left the pulpit behind to try his hand at helping people in a different way. After shedding his pastor duds for a newly acquired closetful of somewhat questionable disguises, Detective Burgess sets out to leverage his considerable people smarts to solve crimes and bring closure to his clients. In this hilarious novel of linked short stories, the former minister busts a smuggling ring, solves a murder, launches a viral video on YouTube, tracks down a ghost, and after exposing a deadly real estate scam, finds CNN in his front yard. After church is over, staying out of trouble might just be Richard’s new full-time job.

Amusing mystery

Richard Burgess is a retired pastor who decides to become a private detective. His wife supports his decision, but I suspect she is the brains behind this family. Richard heads to investigator school and runs into some very shady characters. Each time he calls his wife to check in she admonishs him and tells him to get home, which he doesn't. It is an amusing mystery.

An enjoyable collection of short story mysteries with a distinctive main character in the retired Rev. Richard Burgess. For those new to the genre of cozy mysteries you'll find After Church Mysteries a great introduction. Hoping that there are more to follow!

I have really enjoyed reading this book! I just wasn't prepared for such a quick ending though. All the characters were interesting, especially Stay the dog. Good reading and
great story plot! Thanks for writing such a unique book.

Richard Burgess is a retired minister who plans on becoming a private investigator.
I thought the book would be interesting, but it really didn't appeal to me.
The story was written in an abrupt manner and I had a hard time focusing on the plot.
I look for much more in a cozy mystery and this one was a strike out in my opinion.

This book was hilarious. I chose it because I thought the title was After Church Ministries and I'm a minister. I had so much fun reading it.
