This is the first book in the series that I have read, but it will not be the last! Set in a small town with the main characters being a Pastor, Ed, his wife, Aggie, and their two children Deena and Teddy. You will fall in love with this family from page one. Add in Aggies quirky sisters, their mom and a huge surprise for Christmas and you have one really great cozy mystery. Emilie Richards writes a well plotted mystery that is funny, free from any serious profanity and graphic sex scenes. Add one more to my cozy mysteries list! Great Book!

I absolutely LOVED this second book in the Ministry is Murder series! I didn't care so much for the first one, as I felt Aggie was just too perfect in every way -- but that is not the case in this one. I am eagerly awaiting the third book, now! GREAT BOOK!

I didn't like it quite as much as the first one, but that's often true with sequels. Interesting enough that I'd certainly continue reading the series though.

I love the dry humor. Well done all around. Excellent cozy mystery.

Christmas brings celebrations both in the local churches and in the ministers' homes. A family reunion turns deadly, with several suspects and eager amateur sleuth Aggie working from her parsonage to get ahead of the local police.

I super enjoyed this book; it was even better then the first in the series, and it was good.

A very enjoyable series so far. Thought this even better than the first.

I absoutely loved this 2nd book in the series though I would've liked more interaction between Aggie and Ed. I did guess who did the murder pretty much right away but she tied it up nicely and i'm looking forward to reading the next in the series-Beware False Profits. =)
