Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:


Millers Kill reaches the boiling point in this white-hot novel of love and suspense



People die. Marriages fail. In the small Adirondack town of Millers Kill, New York, however, life doesn’t stop for heartbreak. A brand-new officer in the police department, a breaking-and-entering, and trouble within his own family keep Police Chief Russ Van Alstyne busy enough to ignore the pain of losing his wife---and the woman he loves.



At St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, the Reverend Clare Fergusson is trying to keep her vestry, her bishop, and her National Guard superiors happy---all the while denying her own wounded soul.



When a Mexican farmhand stumbles over a Latino man killed with a single shot to the back of his head, Clare is sucked into the investigation through her involvement in the migrant community. The discovery of two more bodies executed in the same way ignites fears that a serial killer is loose in the close-knit community. While the sorrowful spring turns into a scorching summer, Russ is plagued by media hysteria, conflict within his department, and a series of baffling assaults.



As the violence strikes closer and closer to home, an untried officer is tested, a wary migrant worker is tempted, and two would-be lovers who thought they had lost everything must find a way to trust each other again---before it becomes forever, fatally, too late.



Julia Spencer-Fleming shows you can escape danger---but not desire---in her most suspenseful, passionate novel yet.

Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Too long
Repeated a lot of information that could have been cut out. Story was too predictable and too long.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Want a little less
I've been a consistent Spencer-Fleming fan since the very first volume. This one held my interest strongly for the very first two thirds or so. Hadley Knox is a great addition - lots of personality and she can take care of herself. The nun is cool too.

But this volume seemed to move more slowly than the others. And I got a little tired of the back-and-forth between Clare and Russ. One unpleasant character tells them, "You might as well use very first names. Everybody knows
what's going on between you."

And I want to say, "You might as well bring them together Everybody knows the way this series is going."

Spencer-Fleming uses the "omniscient author" voice more than I remember from other volumes. Mostly it works but I felt we jumped from one character's brain to the other, instead of going more deeply into Clare or Russ.

The ending was inevitable. Frustrating but hey...we knew it would turn out this way.

Still, Spencer-Fleming writes better than most mystery authors and I'll be back for more when her subsequent volume appears.





Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Loved This Book!
Absolutely loved this subsequent installment for Clare and Russ. Gripping and a fast read. Can't wait for the subsequent book.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - love this author
I've read all the books by this author that I could find. She has a nice combination of personal stories of her characters, mystery & occupational complications.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Disappointing book for this fan
I have loved all of the other Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne mysteries. This one disappointed me because Clare and Russ didn't seem to be in it as much as some of the others. Hadley is an interesting new character, and, as others have mentioned, some interesting and current topics come up... But I missed the interactions between Clare and Russ that seemed more limited in this book. As a stand alone book, I would give it 4 stars, but compared to the others in the series, I give it 3 stars.
