I looooooove Julia Spencer-Fleming and I really, really enjoyed having an update on Clare and Russ, but at the same time, discovering Russ as a young man as well. There's also more of Hadley Knox and Kevin Flynn, and those two give me all the feels. Even though quite a few years have passed since a new book was released in this series, it feels exactly the same. The mojo is there and it made me so happy. It appears she is setting up another installment as well!
Spencer-Fleming combines a first-rate mystery with flawed but endearing characters. As ambitious as Spencer-Fleming’s best as long as you don’t expect a tidy whodunit. Gehört zur Reihe
"New York Times bestseller Julia Spencer-Fleming returns to her beloved Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne mystery series with new crimes that span decades. 1952. Millers Kill Police Chief Harry McNeil is called to a crime scene where a woman in a party dress has been murdered with no obvious cause of death. 1972. Millers Kill Police Chief Jack Liddle is called to a murder scene of a woman that's very similar to one he worked as a trooper in the 50s. The only difference is this time, they have a suspect. Young Vietnam War veteran Russ van Alstyne found the body while riding his motorcycle and is quickly pegged as the prime focus of the investigation. Present-day. Millers Kill Police Chief Russ van Alstyne gets a 911 call that a young woman has been found dead in a party dress, the same MO as the crime he was accused of in the 70s. The pressure is on for Russ to solve the murder before he's removed from the case. Russ will enlist the help of his police squad and Reverand Clare Fergusson, who is already juggling the tasks of being a new mother to her and Russ's baby and running St. Alban's Church, to finally solve these crimes. Readers have waited years for this newest book and Julia Spencer-Fleming delivers with the exquisite skill and craftsmanship that have made her such a success"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This is the 9th book in a series and the first one I've read by this author and in this series. However, I did not feel that I missed anything by not reading the previous books in the series.
Russ Van Alstyne is the Chief of Police in Millers Kill, a town located in New York State. His wife is Rev. Clare Fergusson and they have have an infant, Ethan. Russ is investigating a mysterious death of a young woman who was dumped on a road with no obvious trauma. This case is identical to a case from 1972 in which Russ was a potential suspect. The chief in 1972 recalls yet another identical case from 1952. This book follows Russ's investigation in the current case but also alternates between the current case and the previous two cases.
It was very well done and I enjoyed the story. Well-written and it kept me guessing. Typically, when I'm reading, I try not to guess "who did it" because I want to be "lost" in the story telling. I really enjoyed this book. ( )
