Enjoy this Small-Town Murder Mystery Featuring A Unique Sleuthing Couple
I'm Father Tom Greer, a Catholic Priest in a small-town parish who never expected this . . .
When I came to Myerton to take over as pastor of Saint Clare's Catholic Church, I never expected to run into a woman I loved in college twenty years ago . . .
I never expected that woman to be the police detective who solved my first wife's murder–and saved my life in the process . . .
I never expected to fall in love with her all over again . . .
Most of all, I never, ever expected to receive permission from the Holy Father to marry her . . .
But that's what happened to me.
So after a wonderful wedding and a honeymoon cruise with my new wife, we're looking forward to another week together, just the two of us.
But instead, we have to go back home, to Myerton.
You see, my deacon's been murdered, and I have a hurting flock to tend to.
I'm Helen Parr Greer, Chief of Police in a small-town police department who never expected this . . .

I never expected him to ask me to solve the murder of his first wife . . .
I never expected to fall in love with him all over again . . .
Most of all, I never, ever expected him to receive permission from the Holy Father to marry me . . .

The Honeymoon Homicide is the first novel in the Mercy and Justice Mystery series, a contemporary small town mystery series. The series is a sequel to the Father Tom Mysteries that began with The Penitent Priest and includes the same cast of characters. It features Father Tom Greer, a Catholic Priest who is also an amateur sleuth in the tradition of Father Brown, and his wife Helen Greer, female Chief of Police and detective in the tradition of Kinsey Millhone. If you enjoy the works of Rhys Dylan, Andrew Mayne, and Mary Stone, you will enjoy this novel.

The Honeymoon Homicide
I loved this book. Drama, death, comedy, love and laughter all in one story.
Interesting read
A twist for sure in having a priest marry and work with his new wife (chief of police) in a unique way to solve crime. Enjoyed the way they respected their sanctions of confidentiality but still managed to work together.
Good Read
Could anything be worse than having to cut your honeymoon short and return home to solve a murder? Rather all in a day’s work and somewhat routine if you’re Fr. Tom Greer married to Chief of Police Helen Greer. And so begins the new series that continues where the Father Tom Mysteries left off. You can absolutely read this novel without having read any of the previous ones (though for your own reading pleasure I highly suggest you do!), as some back story is given on characters previously introduced. For all the juicy details, and there are some rather juicy bits, the previous books are highly entertaining reads. Sadly, Deacon Derek, who was overseeing St Clare’s parish while Fr Tom and Chief Helen were cruising on their honeymoon, has been murdered, which the newlyweds unfortunately find out on their return to Baltimore while waiting for the transfer to their hotel for the next week of newlywed bliss, which alas is not to be. And so ensue the twists and turns of what looks like a straightforward murder and what turns out to be anything but. Filled with colourful characters in the town of Myerton, the wonderful parishioners of St. Clare’s and lots of surprises, I loved this first book in the Mercy and Justice Mysteries series.
