Until Proven Guilty by J.A. Jance a J.P. Beaumont mystery

J.P. Beaumont is the detective assigned to the murder of a little girl named Angela. She was the daughter of a woman living under the control of a preacher named Brodie and the "church" that he led. When J.P. began investigating Angela's mother, Suzanne Barstogi, he realized that the Rev. Michael Brodie and Faith Tabernacle had some strange hold on the lives of the "true believers." An ex-member of that body of believers informed J.P. that things went on at the secret services that were not what one would expect in a worship service. While involved with Angela's murder case, he also became involved with a woman he met at Angela's funeral. A newspaper columnist named her the"woman in red" and J.P. was totally taken by her. It was a whirlwind romance which he thought had nothing to do with Angela's murder. Angela's father appeared and was held under suspicion for the murder. But, of course, a person isn't guilty until the courts can prove it. The discovery of Angela's body dressed in a Holly Hobbie nightgown was just the beginning of an episode that changed J.P.'s life and that of many others.
