Murder, Christian Authors

No i dont want to murder a Christian author. At all. In fact i am, as most people are, murder. But i enjoy good mysteries. Of any kind really, but murder in particular. And in the Christian world of literature theree ar mysteries. These mysteries usually have a stereotypical result: protagonist is problem plaugued and gets it resolved through Christ. Or it is they are Christians who deal witha moral problem. Not that thgese lots are in and of themselves bad it just becomes bad when the writer becomes cliche so as to not offend the reader, or to just get published by a Christian publisher.
The book BAck on Murder, is in my opinion, an exception. It is written and published by Christian people. It is not offensive in content: langauge, sex, etc. But it is a highly moral. The author is writing in first person from the view of a skeptic/cynincal unsaved cop, which is just perfect. Yes, some themes and such are mature but it, to me, is the best Christian crime novel i have ever read.
