“…A very entertaining read, with a cast of characters that feel like you’ve met before... But these are not the images from a quaint postcard. The Liquor Vicar is full of the troubled and broken hearted, but Ditrich finds depth and honesty, and most centrally the humour in these intersecting lives. A great debut.”
Aaron Chapman, Vancouver-based historian, and author of ‘Liquor, Lust and the Law’, and ‘The Last Gang in Town”
Aaron Chapman, The Last Gang in Town: The Epic Story of the Vancouver Police vs. the Clark Park Gang

“The ringleader of the operation had been a brothel madam in the city for years: thirty-five-year-old titian-haired Diane Frew. Although the fiery redhead had listed her occupation in court as “housewife,” Frew had a criminal record that stretched back two decades.”
Aaron Chapman, Vancouver Vice: Crime and Spectacle in the City’s West End
