The Vicar is at it again. And I want to follow him as much this time as the last. * Alan Doyle, author of A Newfoundlander in Canada and Canadian singer-songwriter * I don't remember the last time I smiled so much while reading a novel. Vince Ditrich's vivid descriptions and colourful characters are the perfect escapism. * Martin Crosbie, best-selling author of My Temporary Life series * Funny, silly, lighthearted, sentimental, snarky, and often hyperactive with comic energy, The Liquor Vicar tells a tall, quirky tale of redemption in snack-sized chapters. * The Vancouver Sun, for The Liquor Vicar * Ditrichs quick, clever, punchy prose will hold your attention, make you laugh, make you ponder, and make you forget about the chaos of the world. * Jann Arden, singer, and author of Feeding My Mother * The greatest sequel since The Wrath of Khan, if Tony Vicar was William Shatner. * Grant Lawrence, author and CBC Radio host * Ghosts, glam rock, and a golf-ball-stealing moose, who couldnt have fun reading The Vicars Knickers, the latest by consummate musician and author, Vince R. Ditrich? Tony Vicar and his richly drawn band of wild and wacky characters will steal your heart as well as the show. * C.S. O'Cinneide, Edgar nominated author of the Candace Starr series * The Vicar's Knickers is a delightful humour noir novel. Vince Ditrich generously lends his trademark wit and cleverness to the characters of fictional Tyee Lagoon, with laugh-out-loud turns of phrase on every page * Sarah Chauncey, author of P.S. I Love You More Than Tuna * The residents of Tyee Lagoon are back! And under Ditrich's vivid storytelling, the results for the reader continue to be uproarious, hilarious, and unexpectedly touching. * Aaron Chapman, author of Vancouver Vice and BC Book Prize winner * Theyre back! All the beloved characters from The Liquor Vicar plus a baby, two deliciously evil villains, a moose with a passion for golf balls and a mysterious entity. * Alison Kelly, performer and author of Granville Island ABC a Family Adventure * Tony Vicar is back at full throttle and this time round, using the same brilliant language and acerbic wit we came to adore in The Liquor Vicar, our star brings his own share of wild baggage. The question is: will the Vicar survive? Buckle up, its a helluva ride * Pete McCormack, Oscar-nominated filmmaker and author of Understanding Ken * To all the fans who bought the first bookLook at what youve done. Youve only encouraged him. * Terry David Mulligan, host of CKUA radios Mulligan Stew * Round 2 with Vince Ditrichs cast of prog-rock rejects and mill-town mavericks provided the knockout. Tyee Lagoon is as real as any Vancouver Island small town; scratch the surface and the psychedelics kick in. Heart, loyalty, and honour run deep * Craig Northey, songwriter and founding member of the band Odds * The Battle of Tyee Lagoon should be taught in classrooms, and be a Heritage moment. * Rob Baker, guitarist in The Tragically Hip * Filled with biting satire and social commentary, The Vicars Knickers is a wordsmiths delight, weaving a convoluted tale of mystery, the supernatural, love and fried chicken. * Winnipeg Free Press *
