With an emphasis on novels that reflect Bible-based values, the guide gives key insights into the reasons behind each selection on the list, as well as reasons a believer may want to support Christian authors over mainstream mystery titles.
A recent report from Christianity Today shows that the Christian fiction market has grown steadily over the past decade, indicating a trend away from secular writing and a growing preference for literature that aligns with faith-based values. In the reader’s guide, Betty Johansen explains a few reasons behind this shift.
“Some of the mysteries being written these days are so packed with gore and foul language that I don’t even want to hear or read them, much less pay for them,” says Betty. “Fortunately, Christian mysteries are fun, respectable, recognize God’s order, and feed your heart and mind.”
The author goes on to share the fact that it was her desire to find Christian cozy mysteries - devoid of profanity or explicit sex scenes - that prompted her to write her own whodunit tales. Her most recent novel, Lilli’s Song, is set in the Texas panhandle and covers themes of UFO sightings and the fight against demonic powers.
An earlier title, Hawaiian Wildflower, is also set in Texas and deals with marriage, fidelity, and temptation, explored from a Christian perspective.
As part of the guide, Johansen gives her top recommendations for several other popular Christian mystery authors. These include the Pennsylvania Dutch Mystery Series by Tamar Myers, Terri Blackstock’s Cape Refuge Series, and the Amish Village Mystery Series by Vanetta Chapman.
For each recommended title or series, the author provides links to a detailed book review on her blog page, along with a detailed character list to help readers keep track of plot lines and identities. Readers may also access links to Johansen’s own titles, which include ordering information.
