Review of 'Plain heathen mischief' on 'LibraryThing'

An interesting novel about a minister struggling with his faith after resigning from his pulpit in a sex scandal. This is a novel of ideas about faith, but it also is a suspenseful novel about con-men, with a plot that keeps moving. Occasionally wooden characters (especially the minister's sister), but a good read.
