This program includes a bonus conversation with the author

New York Times best seller Julia Spencer-Fleming returns to her beloved Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne mystery series with new crimes that span decades in Hid from Our Eyes.

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 Reverend Clare Fergusson, who is already juggling the tasks of being a new mother to her and Russ' baby and running St. Alban's Church, to finally solve these crimes.

Listeners 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.

Excellent and good news

I’m not sure why there are negative comments regarding the narration, this narrator has been consistent from the beginning with each character. Only one character has an accent. I have never found it distracting at all. I was very grateful to hear in the brief commentary at the end of the book, that the next book should be out much sooner than this one. I waited painfully for years this book to come out. Great series and excellent writing. Narrator is also perfect!

Glad She’s Back

It’s been a long wait for this book in the series and it was well worth the wait. There is a wonderful flow from one book to the next in the Claire/Russ series. Julia Spencer-Fleming is a wonderful author and I absolutely couldn’t put this one down until I finished it. Now, I have to wait for the next one and I’m happy to know that she is already working on it!

anticipation is all

the early books before they marry seem to have more substance and more depth, more of a story. This one has it's moments but previous books are more interesting to me.

Nice addition

It’s been along time since there have been new books in the series so it was nice to revisit these characters and the town of Millers kill. Fans of this series will not be disappointed by this book. The plot moves along at a relatively good pace, but ends with somewhat of a cliffhanger. Looking forward to the next book!

Interesting Story Line

I really enjoyed this book and the reading. I can see another book in the making based on the ending. The story line was captivating and characters interesting.
