Here's a fresh review of Indecent Exposure from Melanie, a reader in Eastern Washington. Thanks Melanie!
"From the first paragraph, I was totally captivated by this book and held hostage to the very last page.

We find widower Father Hardy, an Episcopal Priest, living
and doing God's work with the Athabascan people in the small town of Chandelar,
Alaska. This fast-paced novel
opens with Father Hardy being taken into the freezing wilderness by two men
from town to collect the frozen body of dead man Frankie Slick, a small time
hoodlum from Chandelar. As Father
Hardy tries to figure out who killed Frankie Slick, he finds plenty of evidence
that connects Frankie and his shady business dealings with many of the people
in town as well as other more ominous characters all of whom have a reason to
kill Frankie. And, to my surprise,
Father Hardy is not only a priest, ministering to the townspeople, but also a
well-rounded man who can handle himself in a fist fight and knows how to shoot
a gun.
Mr. Stratman
has written a story that has mystery and international intrigue with characters
who are not really what they seem to be.
With descriptive phrasing such as ..."the insides of
door hinges white with frost", and..."a million facets of icy
diamonds set into the surface of the drifted snow", this reader was not
only drawn into the icy cold of the Alaskan winter, but grateful not to be
there.
The surprise ending will leave you with the feeling that
everything really is as it should be.
This is a “must read” for those who enjoy adventure,
intrigue, and mystery."
