BTW, I slogged my way to the end of Murder Past Due. Not impressed: really way too much niceness dripping off every paragraph. I'm not sure if this is an example of "Christian fiction" but it certainly is sanitised. However, live and learn. Time to dust off some Ian Rankin, or at least some feisty Agatha Christie!
I read the book and didn't get that - but it *is* highly southern in the politeness category. I was raised that way, so maybe I just find it normal.

Yeah, I don't think it was intended as Christian. Southern, maybe, as I stated above. Try Julie Hyzy's White House Chef series the next time you want a cozy. They're a little less polite. Ollie bites her tongue a lot, but that's because she works in the White House, and a bunch of the characters are nowhere near polite at all, LOL.
