Hid from Our Eyes
Hid from Our Eyes: A Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne Mystery | Julia Spencer-Fleming
8 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
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.

It has been six years since the author‘s last book in this series, and it‘s been almost that long since I read it. Consequently, I had a little trouble getting into this, just because I couldn‘t remember everything that had happened in the previous books. Also, this follows 3 timelines, which sometimes is confusing. But overall it‘s excellent, great to be back with these characters. There‘s a cliffhanger, so there‘s another book coming. 👇

Sort. One of the many reasons I love these characters: subtle humor.

I was very happy to return to the lives of Clare and Russ. They are well-developed flawed characters and this plot kept the pages turning until the surprise ending. Series should be read in order although this one works as a standalone too. Cliffhanger ending makes me look forward to the next book. Highly recommend to mystery readers. I would like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a free copy for an honest review.
