Bye Bye Bertie

If you crossed the cockeyed wit of Adrian Plass with the hairpin plot twists of Agatha Christie, and threw in a dash of Keystone Kops for flavoring, you’d have something close to Rick Dewhurst’s Joe LaFlam and his gumshoe antics. Part slapstick whodunit, part sharp-eyed satire on the contemporary church’s fickleness and fetishes, Bye Bye Bertie is as tasty and sticky as a jelly donut, with probably less than half the calories.” Mark Buchanan, Author Your God Is Too Safe, Things Unseen, and The Holy Wild

“Bye Bye, Bertie by Rick Dewhurst is a quirky, laugh-out-loud tale told by a hapless, juice-fasting gumshoe named Joe LaFlam. Dewhurst’s razor-sharp satire exposes many foibles of contemporary churches and worship styles, while his clever prose drives home essential Christian truth. This witty, contemplative, and refreshingly-to-the-point whodunit has enough plot twists and turns to keep readers guessing to the last page. When they get there, readers are likely to shout, ‘Way to go, Joe!’” Ron and Janet Benrey, Authors Little White Lies, The Second Mile, Humble Pie, and Dead as a Scone
