One popular young adult LDS church novel is 'The Work and the Glory' series. It tells the story of a fictional family during the early days of the LDS Church, showing their struggles and faith. Another is 'Fablehaven' which, while not strictly about the LDS Church but has elements that appeal to young LDS readers, like themes of good vs. evil and moral choices. And 'Anne of Green Gables' is also often liked by young LDS adults as it has values similar to those taught in the church, such as kindness and perseverance.
Young adult LDS church novels can influence readers by strengthening their faith. For example, stories set within the context of the LDS Church can help readers better understand the church's teachings and values. They can also provide moral guidance. By showing characters making right or wrong choices, readers can learn from them.
One possibility could be 'The Silence of the Lambs' by Thomas Harris. While not directly about a girl being murdered near a church, it has elements of a serial killer preying on young women, and religious and moral themes are explored. Another might be some of the works by James Patterson. His crime novels often deal with dark and disturbing topics, and there could be a story in his extensive bibliography that has some connection to what you're looking for.

Once upon a time in a small village, there was an old church. The pastor there was a very kind man. He would often visit the sick and the poor in the village. One winter, a big storm hit and many people lost their homes. The church became a shelter for them. The pastor and the parishioners worked together to provide food, warm clothes and a place to sleep for those in need. It was a story of hope and community within the walls of the church.
Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit. It was very curious about the world outside its burrow. One day, it decided to explore. It hopped through the forest and met a wise old owl. The owl told the rabbit about the secrets of the forest, like which berries were safe to eat and where the hidden streams were. The rabbit was so excited to learn all these things and couldn't wait to share with its family when it got back home.

One church Christmas story is about a small, poor church in a little town. On Christmas Eve, they didn't have much to decorate with. But the parishioners all brought in what they could - a few candles, some handmade ornaments. The priest told the story of Jesus' birth with such passion that night. As they sang carols, a rich merchant who was passing through town heard the beautiful voices. He was so moved that he donated a large sum of money to the church the next day, allowing them to make repairs and have a grand Christmas celebration the following year.
