Jackie McGrath, the heroine of THE DEWEYVILLE CHURCH SECRETARY, DEVIL'S BASEMENT, is a mature gal living somewhere in the Bible Belt, sort of the polar opposite of Stephanie Plum, but with the same penchant for trouble with men, life, and small town drama. Speeding down the highway of life becomes more than a metaphor when Jackie is arrested after twice breaking the speed limit on her way from her job as the secretary for the First United Methodist Church of Deweyville to the Gone Native Casino. Watching her shiny new convertible being hauled off to impound while she is handcuffed and hauled off to jail is about to put her over the insanity limit and into a full blown anxiety attack. What else can possibly go wrong for a woman who once played tennis with the country club set? Plenty. For starters, she has two ex-husbands and the third soon-to-be-ex, the two-timing boy toy, is bleeding her dry. Her house is in jeopardy of being taken by the bank; her teenage son has decided to attend the Religion Within Reach church where Gospel Bob has invented a new religion; one of her four jobs requires her to sit with the recently deceased; and she is having nocturnal fantasies about the very married chief of police. The church should be Jackie's sanctuary, a place of rectitude where her job is to write the newsletter and type sermons on tolerance, but one calamity after another puts her in the middle of the biggest scandals in Deweyville. If keeping the flock of crazy characters in line isn't enough, the boiler blows up in the church basement and a body is discovered in the wreckage. Not only is the chief hanging around while investigating the crime, he is making Jackie feel guilty about her impure thoughts. And the new boiler man is giving her the jitters. All Jackie wants to do is catch up on sleep, play a little Texas Hold 'em with her casino money, and land the starring role in the latest little theatre performance. Falling for the boiler man is not on her complicated To Do List, but when he offers to help relieve her stress the old fashioned way, she can hardly resist. Finally, Jackie must deal with the newest in a long succession of ineffective pastors. The latest one has a little OCD going on and wants to fire her because he believes she has too much influence on the eccentric congregation he doesn't know how to handle. Devil's Basement, the first in this henlit series about The Deweyville Church Secretary, was written by the Carroll sisters from Oklahoma, Frankie and Johnnie, definitely not fictional characters.
The Deweyville Church Secretary Devil Basement Volume 1 Frankie Johnnie Nathan Dick Books
If you enjoy the (mis)adventures of Stephanie Plum, you will love The Deweyville Church Secretary: Devil's Basement. The Carroll sisters, Frankie and Johnnie, create a heroine in Jackie McGrath that is worthy of the trilogy planned for this series. I was definitely not ready to leave Deweyville and its ditzy, daft and devious denizens behind.This first installment introduces us to our heroine, Jackie McGrath, long time secretary at the First United Methodist Church of Deweyville. Jackie is good at her job and also good at getting in over her head with the goings on in her small town. A consummate multi-tasker, Jackie is adept at juggling her job, her role as single mother to a teenage son, and getting even with slimeball husband number 3. But those are not the only things on her plate in this madcap romp. All is not what it seems when the church's organist dies on the job, the church boiler blows, and the bodies start piling up. Mystery and romance ensue taking Jackie on one wild ride after another. The Carroll sisters provide Jackie with a supporting cast of characters that keep the momentum going including her flamboyantly gay BFF Gerie', the hunky Chief of Police, and Rusty Jackson, the boiler man who starts a flame in more than just the furnace.
Frankie and Johnnie characterize this book as "henlit" (that is, "chicklit" for those of us gals "of a certain age"). Let's hope this starts a new trend in stories featuring women whose breasts are not perky, whose love lives are not perfect, and who manage to get themselves tied up in knots in only the figurative sense.
Bravo on a great first effort. Here's hoping Frankie and Johnnie continue their life-long collaboration for many, many years to come!

The Deweyville Church Secretary Devil Basement Volume 1 Frankie Johnnie Nathan Dick Books Reviews
It was fun to follow Jackie in all the fun. Fun to read.
Who knew the goings on in a church could be so much fun? I'll never look at the people on my pew, Sundays, in the same way, i laughed out loud.
Enjoyed the book. Much of the content was WAY too close to the truth to truly be a work of fiction!
I'm a church secretary albeit Catholic and not Methodist, but this book was funny, full of suspense, sexy and oh so very true! Thank you for a fantastic read.
