Lentorama 2024: Clerical Crime Solvers

Day 9: Jabal Jarrett

Freda Bream created the Rev. Jabal Jarrett when she turned to writing in her retirement, turning out 13 novels featuring the Auckland clergyman that every page I can find about the book labels as 'eccentric.'

How he's eccentric is another question, as I can find not much more than the barest information about the character or his debut appearance in Island of Fear. I did come across this page which gives just enough information for me to think that these books were never published in the US (and likely out of print everywhere else).
