To Darkness and to Death
Large Print - 2014 | Large print edition
Chief of Police Russ Van Alstyne wants nothing more than a quiet day hunting in the mountains on his fiftieth birthday, as his wife plans for the opening gala of the new luxury resort. Reverend Clare Fergusson is getting ready for the bishop's annual visit . . . and one from her long-distance suitor. But in Millers Kill, what begins as a simple case of a woman lost in the woods leads to a tangle of revenge, blackmail, assault, kidnapping, and murder.

Add a CommentAnother good installment in this series. Clare spends a ton of time out of church searching for a missing woman and comforting the family of another woman who was beaten nearly to death. Others try to cover up crimes or accidents, only getting into deeper trouble. All culminates at a gala that turns into a catastrophe. By the end of the book Russ makes an important decision about his feelings for Clare.
In the Bleak Midwinter is the first in this series. I have enjoyed reading the author's character descriptions and the renderings of the starkness and beauty of the region.
It started with a search for a missing person, but as the story advances the complications grew. Always an excellent read, this one will keep the reader busy trying to keep everyone and their stories and alibis straight.
